Last Wednesday, John Taylor celebrated his 100th Birthday. John worked on sound and sound design on a lot of those Gerry Anderson Puppet Show Series, He also owned, along with his wife (who also worked on those TV shows), 'Grosvenor Studios' in the Midlands. An interesting little read in the link below.. SuperM - John and Jean Taylor (lester.demon.nl) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAYNESWORLD Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Thanks lowdown that was a great read and also took me back to my childhood. Such great times when all you needed was imagination with your mates and the days flew bye pretending you were one of the characters from Stingray/ Thunderbirds Supercar etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earbrass Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) In the seventies, the BBC broadcast an adaptation of Sartre's The Roads to Freedom, which acquired a cult following in our sixth-form. I can't remember a single thing about the characters or story, but the haunting theme song has never left me; La Route Est Dure, sung by the wonderful Georgia Brown.

bassace Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 There was a great B&W movie we all liked in the sixties, I Want to Live, starring Susan Hayward. Soundtrack was by Gerry Mulligan who led a quartet with Chet Baker. Mulligan had a lot to do with the ‘cool’ movement while Miles Davis got most of the credit. Here’s the theme, Black Nightgown, appropriately intro’d on a bass. Double bass, of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) I watched a couple of episodes of Police Squad! earlier, and was reminded just what a great piece of music the theme is -- the full length version over the closing credits of Naked Gun 2.5 is particularly good. It swings its áss off. Edited June 4, 2021 by Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zbd1960 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I've played quite a few TV / film tunes in various concerts over the years on both cello and tenor sax. One really good one from 60s/70s (which I've not played) is Department S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
