mrbellamy 6,291 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Possibly a little bit missing from that unscored beginning too. Theoretically 6 minutes could just mean anywhere between 5:30 and 6:30. I really enjoy this piece, glad Williams did it! Good on KB for asking him.

Well if it's temp music, it only mean one thing: invasio... oops, sorry,... it means that we don't need John Williams anymore... and I can't resign myself to accept that. The day John Williams will stop writing new music, I will only wear black and stop to listen to any new instrumental music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviazn 273 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 The main melody's first phrase reminds me of The American President. Lovely theme, but I could do without the over-the-top modulations every time Kobe makes a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Psycho Pianist 216 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I love it! Pure, classic Williams. As @Will said earlier, very reminiscent of his writing on HP.

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I don't care a lick for basketball, but this was really sweet. I think it's possible to tell when John is writing from a place of genuine emotion and understanding rather than just going through the paces - it is definitely the former here. Even in the space of a few minutes, one still feels the sense of a true master of his craft at work, in top form, the same sense that's been around since, I dunno, Lincoln. Looking forward to the new Star Wars score. Is Bryant a piece of shit, like so many professional athletes seem to be? Does anyone know? Wonder if he really deserved this.

Will 2,215 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Hard to say. Seems like a nice guy and you have to love someone who loves Williams, but there is that rape case Stu pointed out. We of course do not know exactly what happened that night so I try to avoid judging. It doesn't really sound great even if it wasn't rape, though.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 That's where I stand. He's either a criminal or just a run-of-the-mill jerk. Still, glad he inspired Williams to write some beautiful music. igger6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ducks and covers, scrambling for the exit.] I think the theme itself is okay. If I had to rank it with all the melodies he's ever written, it'd probably get lost somewhere right in the middle with most of them. I mean, if it was the main theme to a feature length score, I might get a little sick of it after like an hour, but it works swell for this and he sure makes the most of it in a few minutes. I wasn't too sure what level he was gonna pitch this thing....I was basically expecting the sentimental Americana style, but I thought it might be a little more mellow overall since that's what he's been doing lately. I'm glad he basically went for the throat, though, it's fun to hear him just indulging himself at the end there. Will and igger6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,715 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Well that is a nice fluffy little theme with the above mentioned Lincolnian feel to it. And that film was much more about Bryant than dear basketball. fuhrsy31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Maybe an official letter from the JWfan network staff to Byrant, from JWfan to JWfan, aksing him if he can make the music released does not sound like a bad idea....
