Edit: I checked it here and it seems we are both right:
Indeed! Acutally both our sources are not fully correct. The actual album art proofs that Jones produced three tracks: “Champs Elysees and both versions of “I Love Paris”: https://www.discogs.com/de/master/754542-Zaz-Paris/image/SW1hZ2U6MTUzODYwODE=
One “Produced by” and the other “Executive produced by”, whatever the difference is actually 😉The classic training montages. Probably you could throw in some Van Damme here, too.
For some reason I currently just remember some random ones although I should and do clearly know more:
“The Ecstasy of Gold” from THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY:
The opening of UP which is just music only (Sorry, Thor, Giacchino, but one of his best scores ;-)):
The construction scene from EXPLORERS with Goldsmith’s music (IMHO best track of the score…):
(Which reminds me of the current construction scenes of THE A-TEAM somehow ;-))
I think that’s the wrong track actually Jones did produced the track “I love Paris” (a Cole Porter cover) on that album:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_(Zaz_album)Yeah, he’s mostly know in the pop music realm especially for producing Michael Jackson. I have to admit I am not so into his non film score stuff. But he id a fun Mancini cover album (I think Mancini supported him, too).
I think he is a bit underrated as a film composer as he is quite versatile although most have a jazz/groove vibe. I first got to know him via IN THE HEAT OF THE NIHGT/THEY CALL ME MR. TIBBS. The most famous COLOR PURPLE and ROOTS (with lots of Gerald Fried anyway…) I find a bit overrated (haven’t listend to them in a while). But there are plenty of other scores besides those you named like DOLLARS or – as a western (score) fan – his only(?) western score MACKENNA’S GOLD.These should fit:
– John Corigliano: only three scores unless I missed anything else (Edit: Sorry, duplicate, missed he was mentioned already)
– Philip Saiton: Moby Dick is the only score I thinkNot a real expert bu CARRIE is great as are other De Palma scores. I also like:
– DePalma scores in general
– DON’T LOOK NOW
– HERCULES
– THE HOWLING
– TOURIST TRAP
– PIRANHA
– THE BARBARIANS (even or because it is a bit 80s cheesy ;-))Although he is nowhere in my top league I do like him. The AXEL F. singlex was probably the first film music media I bought myself as a kid. I still have it.
I pride myself in not being TOO much of a geekboy
If being a film score fan isn’t a high level of geekness what else? 😉
Nice cover of Doldinger’s “Happy Flight” from NEVERENDING STORY by the “Rundfunk Tanzorchester Ehrenfeld” (a tv show band over here):

Recently resdiscovered these four acoustic Tangerine Dream covers a composer and school teacher did with his students.
Loved the series back then and was so upset when the murderer was spoilered in the media. I still feel even on a rewatch some years ago that the series lost a bit after that in season 1 already. But I liked the rather confusing season 2 as well. Haven’t seen that later follow up season 3. The movie was mixed for me.
The scores is of course a classic. The times when you went out to instantly buy the CD 😉
I know the name but totally unfamiliar with him. Perhaps he just dropped the last name when moving to LA as just “Timon” is surely easier to remember…
Years ago I was less forgiving for Horner but nowadays I made my peace with it. He does it so rather well that it doesn’t bother me. And I am not that familiar in detail that I don’t always notice (besides the danger motif maybe).
If you are nasty you could say for example Glass always sounds the same even if he does not re-use themes 😉 Just kidding, I like Glass but often need the mood for it. Thanks for tipp with VISITOR. Didn’t know that one and will give it a listen.
