Portishead - “Sour Times” (1994)

Thirty years ago today, on August 1, 1994, Portishead released “Sour Times,” the second single from their debut album, Dummy. Using as its base a sample from Argentine composer Lalo Schifrin's "Danube Incident" from the 1967 album More Mission: Impossible, the song exemplifies the cinematic melancholy of the band’s sound. It is to date the band’s only song to chart in the US, peaking at number 53,

who are your fav tv composers? Or any notable tv soundtracks you wanna talk about?

Ooh wonderful question Chuck!

So I'm partial to old TV jazz composers. There used to be so much jazz on television in the 60s and 70s. Lalo Schifrin's old Mission: Impossible Scores, I'm a big fan of Pete Rugolo. Pete wrote for the Stan Kenton band before he got into TV and his sound is very much what I want musically for one of my OC's... Oliver Nelson is another great name in TV jazz underscore - the 6 Million Dollar Man theme, theme from a show called LONGSTREET, and other stuff I don't remember rn oh yeah an episode of Columbo!

I'm also a big fan of 90s Warner Animation TV scores. Shirley Walker was the lead composer on the action shows like Batman: The Animated Series and Richard Stone was the lead on thr cartoony comedies like Animaniacs. Really outstanding orchestral music. Feature-quality and the kind you don't really get on TV anymore.

There's some great anime TV music too. Sailor Moon and Inuyasha both have great music. Sailor Moon is very much in a sparkly pop-action style. Some of it's like disco as seen from the early 90s. There's also other jazz stuff and I'm pretty sure I heard a cue modeled after the Perry Mason Theme once.. Lots of different styles including like hipper jazz fusion influences. Inuyasha is more on the traditional symphonic action side mixed with traditional(/quasi-traditional?) Japanese elements.

Yeah 3 paragraphs is enough for now!!

Better Call Saul Season 5 || Jim on the Move

This video breaks the rule of the song is from the season we're showcasing here. Largely because IMO there isn't any particular song that sticks out in Season 5 to me, and because Season 6 is full of bangers. "Jim on the Move" is from the Mission Impossible soundtrack (the TV show, composed by Lalo Schifrin, who is Lalo Salamanca's namesake) and appears in "Nippy."

It's a really lovely song with such a fun rhythm. Great to cut to. And I felt like it really matched the steadily building-then suddenly explosive vibe of Season 5. Also can we talk about how Season 5 is gorgeous? It looks totally different from the rest of the show, I love it. Apparently, it's because they switched cameras. I want to know more about why they changed how the show is lit though, I've never seen them talk about that.

Lalo Schifrin (born on this day in 1932)

Educated by his father, Luis Schifrin, (Boris Claudio Schifrin , Buenos Aires, June 21, 1932), first violinist of the Teatro Colón Orchestra of Buenos Aires in the environment of classical music from a very young age, Lalo traveled to Paris to study classical music and jazz at the Parisian conservatory where, during the week he would study classical music, and on weekends he performed in small jazz clubs with the best jazz exponents in Europe. When he returned to Buenos Aires in the mid-1950s, he formed his own band and on a visit by the legendary trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, passing through Buenos Aires, he has the opportunity to see him live. Dizzy, after hearing his music, offers her to travel with him to New York as his pianist and director. From that moment on, Lalo Schifrin began to compose music, writing more than 100 melodies for movies and television series. He was nominated for Grammy Awards 21 times, winning 4; He also received an ACE Award, and 6 Oscar nominations. The films and television series that contain Schifrin's most famous works are: 'Mission Impossible'; 'Kung Fu' and 'Mannix.' As a jazz musician he has shared the stage with great instrumentalists and singers such as Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Stan Getz, and Count Basie among others. Throughout his long and successful career, Lalo Schifrin has performed in the best concert halls in the world such as Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center in New York, The Music Center in Los Angeles, the Sala Pleyel in Paris, the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, as well as at all major jazz festivals in the United States and Europe. Schifrin made it possible for the three most important tenors of the late 20th century: José Carreras, Placido Domingo, and Luciano Pavarotti, to sing together through his arrangements and mixes so that each one's tones coincide. This highly successful series of recordings has attracted many new admirers in the world of classical music.

In 1993, Schifrin came to prominence as a composer, pianist and conductor for his series of recordings entitled 'Jazz Meets the Symphony', where he worked with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the London Symphony Orchestra, as well as with jazz musicians Ray Brown, Grady Tate, Jon Faddis, Paquito D'Rivera, and Jeff Hamilton. Schifrin's honors include the BMI Lifetime Achievement Award (1988), the Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et Lettres from the French Minister of Culture, the Distinguished Artist Award (1988) from the Music Center of The Angels; the title of consultant to the President of Argentina on Cultural Issues (1998); and the appointment of Musical Director of the Los Angeles Latin Jazz Institute Festival (1999). At the time of writing this biography, Lalo Schifrin continues to compose jazz and classical music; He tours with major orchestras and works on composing music for films. In 2018, Schifrin received an Honorary Oscar for his entire professional career from the Hollywood Academy.

Top 5 film scores from before 2000

North By Northwest (1959) - Bernard Herrmann

My fave score by one of THE giants of film scoring. Though Vertigo is more iconic, NBNW has the requisite Herrmann darkness and moodiness, but it's brighter and more fun. The rousing fandango action theme, and the tender love theme as heard in the cue "Conversation Piece" are standouts.

Enter The Dragon (1973) - Lalo Schifrin

Rewatched this at the TCM film festival this year and was struck by what good film scoring this is. The music itself is good, but Schifrin has such a mastery of how to write music for film. He really elevates this movie. His spotting (when/how to enter/exit/change) is elegant and insightful, and he has such a good understanding of the pace and mood of a scene. Really helps this movie be the best it can be, and it's very good!

Honorable mention: Bullitt (1968) - also Schifrin

Batman (1989) - Danny Elfman

Credit to Shirley Walker who I believe both orchestrated and conducted this score for Elfman and later became the lead composer for Batman: The Animated Series. This score defined the sound of Batman for a long time, and it's just so rich. Brooding laments, dark heroic fanfares, ironic waltzes, and a sound that feels classic yet hard hitting enough to not feel too old-fashioned (at least for 1989).

Princess Mononoke (1997) - Joe Hisaishi

There's such a sense of profundity to this score, a majesty, a darkness, and yet a warmth. It's so easy to just put on Joe Hisaishi's scores and just listen.

Sabrina (1995) - John Williams

I have great affection for this score and film. Williams' music is so intimate and gorgeous. There's also lots of ritzy party music - all of which is contained in the new expanded released by La-La Land records! It's big band + strings playing old standards. You may not love all these source tracks, and some of them feel very stock (though even then, they're played and recorded well). But when they hit, it's easy to get swept up in the earnest glamour and romance of old society dance orchestras. There are two new songs: "How Can I Remember" imo is forgettable and dated, but "(In The) Moonlight" is great. Music by Williams, lyrics by his old friends Alan and Marilyn Bergman, and vocals by Sting come together in a heady bossa nova. The main theme deserves to be counted on musical merit among Williams' best works and I really love this score.

My Success Was Also My Curse Composer Lalo Schifrin #soundtrack #shorts_...

Lalo Schifrin, legendary composer of scores for  Dirty Harry, Bullitt, Cincinnati Kid, Cool Hand Luke, Brubaker, #missionimpossible etc, talks about being type cast as an action/ adventure composer and not receiving a shot at the bigger hit films from genres  like Summer of 42. Ironically the Argentine composer's early works including Bossa Nova and stints with jazz legends like, Chet Baker, Dizzy Gillespie and Louie Bellson were far from what Hollywood thought he was made for. The pianist later on created a musical path outside of movies that combined all forms and genres of music working small ensembles and symphony orchestras.
