He's the Voice of the Mothership in CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, and he imbued Kevin McCallister's antics with humor in HOME ALONE, but also made Velociraptors more menacing in JURASSIC PARK: meet JIM SELF, one of the greatest tuba players in the world and a legend among L.A. studio musicians, with a credited tally of 1,500 film and television scores. Jim has been principal tuba for John Williams for 25 years, from 1990 to 2015 and performed in many scores by the Maestro, including HOME ALONE 1 and 2, HOOK, JURASSIC PARK, SCHINDLER'S LIST, THE LOST WORLD, A.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, WAR OF THE WORLDS, THE FORCE AWAKENS and many others. He also recorded the AMERICAN JOURNEY album and, as principal tuba of the Pacific Symphony, performed live in concert with Williams conducting several times. In this long, engaging conversation, Jim talks about his extraordinary career as studio musician and his many years performing for John Williams. He recollects recording the iconic solo for Close Encounters of the Third Kind and his work on Home Alone, Hook and Jurassic Park, offering insightful comments and reflections about playing for John Williams. He also talks about his work for Jerry Goldsmith and James Horner, his friendship and early years playing with tuba legend Tommy Johnson, the role of tuba in film music and his life as a composer. https://thelegacyofjohnwilliams.com/2020/11/10/jim-self-podcast/ This is another great episode, guys.

I just read your analysis, Maurizio, and really enjoyed it. And during reading I thought, the most brillant thing about Williams' simple and effective idea for the shark theme was, that he never used it again in other contexts. So, it remained unique. I mean, imagine James Horner would have composed this. He would have recycled this for whatever many other scenes in other movies. At least I think so.

Popular Post TownerFan 4,983 Posted March 22, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2021 Quote NEW 'LEGACY CONVERSATIONS' EPISODE Few contemporary classical composers have such a wide-ranging, colorful and personal style like Kevin Puts, winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 2012 and one of the leading American composers of his generation. His richly colored, harmonic, and freshly melodic musical voice has often been described as "cinematic" and "film-like", and also contains a strong element of storytelling. Puts is quick to acknowledge how much the film music of John Williams has been crucial to his musical upbringing. ""The soundtrack to my childhood was written by John Williams. And only later in my life as I developed as a composer did I really come to understand what a great genius he is. There is no emotion or interaction between characters, no matter how complex, that he can not find the music for." In this conversation, Kevin Puts talks about his career as a contemporary classical composer, his approach to composition as storytelling, what it means to write emotionally compelling “cinematic” music for the concert hall, and how much the music of John Williams inspired him since childhood, particulary the score of E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL. https://thelegacyofjohnwilliams.com/2021/03/22/legacy-conversations-kevin-puts I don't know how many of your are familiar with the music of Kevin Puts. He's a superbly talented American composer who writes for the concert hall. His music is in my opinion always very fresh and exciting.

Meet the legendary flutist who performed on more than 1,200 motion picture scores, including dozens by the incomparable John Williams (Jaws, E.T., Indiana Jones, Hook, Jurassic Park, War Horse, Tintin and many others). In this exclusive conversation (her first extensive interview in many years), Louise talks about her extraordinary career both as a world-class classical player and unrivaled studio musician. She reminisces about the heritage of her distinguished musical family (a true dynasty of incredible musicians) and the path that led her to become a member of the LA Phil and one of the first-call studio players when she was still a young girl. You'll hear Louise talking extensively about her work with John Williams, from her first sessions as a piccolo player in the late 1960s to her exquisite solos on Hook, Jurassic Park and War Horse after being appointed as the Maestro's principal flute for many of his recordings in LA. Get ready for an emotional, fun and passionate interview with one of the most incredible musicians who ever performed in film scores. https://thelegacyofjohnwilliams.com/2021/05/28/louise-di-tullio-podcast/ I'm very happy to share this. It's Louise's first extensive interview in decades. She's a true legend as she performed virtually with all the great film composers. She's the loveliest person and I'm honoured that she gifted so much of her time to talk about her incredible career and her many works with JW.

crumbs 14,316 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Amazing Maurizio! Her flute solos (in Farewell Neverland especially) are so intrinsically linked with John's music, and her performances are that iconic, they're ingrained in my childhood. Even War Horse feels like John treating an entire score as a vehicle to highlight her qualities as a flute soloist. It's a very special thing he shares with these musicians.
