David Vincent 8 Posted July 9, 2002 Author Share Posted July 9, 2002 Now it is in english It is really our John Williams ? I can't believe it !He's got black hair, no glasses and no beard, so it is very difficult to recognize him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Vincent 8 Posted July 9, 2002 Author Share Posted July 9, 2002 I think you are right.This album has been released in the middle of the 50's and the man on the photo seems to be more than 18 (John's age in 1950...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braveheart 0 Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Either that thing is a fake or it is simply a different composer. I think back in the day John went by the name "Johnny". Unless the CD is a re-release (which it isn't), so I don't think that's the composer for the Star Wars films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 This is most likely a jazz pianist with the same name, born (I believe) in the late 10's-early 20's. Williams father, John F. Williams, also known as Johnny "Man Drummer" Williams, was a orchestra percussionist and jazz drummer, not a pianist. And yes, by that time Williams was known as Johnny. His debut album dates from 1957 and was called "The John Towner Touch". It has never been released as cd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John 3 Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 I like researching. Take a look at this page: http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/articles/1...core_Friday.asp and scroll down to the "Williams Trivia" section. The article refers to a song recorded by John Williams, Bill Anthony and Frank Isola in NY on Aug 13, 1954. The name of the piece is "For Heaven's Sake", and appears on a compilation CD called "Jazz Round Midnight-Piano".If you look closely at the ebay photo, front side, in the bottom right corner, the very last item listed in the track listing is "For Heaven's Sake."Big John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
