Let's identify album tracks where JW is performing on the piano!

Inspired by a recent discussion in another thread.

 

 

From that thread:

 

Sabrina theme on the Sabrina OST. Confirmed by Gianmaria Caschetto

JW performed on Images, according to @Thor. Which tracks?

JW probably performed on the Theme from JFK on the JFK OST, according to @TownerFan.

JW performed a bit of the piano solo part in Angela's Ashes, according to @TownerFan.

Over The Moon on the E.T. OST.

 

Is JW the performer on Theme from Schindler's List (Reprise)? What about the piano tracks on The Long Goodbye?

 

What else is there?

What’s that movie, with the poster of a blue drawing of a man holding a gun, white bg and red font.

 

It’s the mono thematic one. Didn’t he play on that one?

I'm not aware of Williams playing piano himself on THE LONG GOODBYE. The theme is performed by The Dave Grusin Trio and various other entities.

You should put the titles in bold in your original post, that way they’ll pop out more.

 

It is also confirmed that he played the theme from “blue pistol man” ; ) during the casino sequence in The Last Jedi. Not sure if it’s audiable in the movie though.

Let’s not forget that John played piano on the track “The Days Between...” (from Stepmom), on the album “Keisuke Wakao plays music of John Williams”.

 

That one’s a rare treat.

I think he didn't play on that one. It was discussed here some time ago.

Is it know if that’s JW playing 1M5 Tribute to Vernon in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom? @TownerFan @Thor


I don’t know, but it could very well be. He performed piano solos of source music in other cases (A Guide for the Married Man, The Ghostbreakers, The Long Goodbye)

The solo in Over the Moon is performed by Ralph Grierson.
