[Thor Joachim Haga]

LET THEM ALL TALK (2020) is such a lovely score. Only 20 minutes, but elegant variations on the John Barry sound. I didn’t know he had that kind of jazz sentiment in him. And then, finally, on to WHITE BIRD (2024) now, the final Newman in my collection thus far. Largely disappointed after the long wait (the film & soundtrack were postponed for a long time), and the overlong running time didn’t make it better. But when whittled down to 40 minutes, it’s actually a GOOD Newman work that rears its head, and worthy of inclusion in my iTunes collection. Says a lot about how much curation means.
