The 86-year-old died yesterday "after a short illness" in London, his family said. Hudson's film "The Hour of the Victor" is remembered in particular for the soundtrack by the band Vangelis.

Thor 7,463 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Over the last week, film composers Alain Goraguer (LA PLANETE SAUVAGE) and Gerald Fried have both passed away. Sad, but with impressive ages. Goraguer was 91, Fried was 95. It's funny, just last night - on the day he passed - I was playing Fried's SHOTGUN SLADE.

Andy 4,079 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Fried’s Trek music was superb.

Yeah, I have. I just googled his work, and found many things I liked. I had a Weather Report cassette as a kid that I listened to a lot. I think it was Sportin' Life, which featured Shorter. I'm also a big Santana fan, and there was another connection. Shame I learn about such connections only after their passing.

Marian Schedenig 8,172 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Wayne Shorter is one of those names that I'm pretty sure should be more than just a name to me, but isn't (yet). I associate him mostly with two things I've been meaning to check out for a long time - Weather Report, and Miles Davis's Bitches Brew. I did briefly listen to snippets by Weather Report back in 2007 when Zawinul died, but somehow lost track and never picked up any of their albums. I guess it's time to rectify that.
