Here are a few excepts from a two and a half hour in-depth interview with the distinguished film composer: Dave Grusin for the Film Music Foundation. Here he discusses his film scoring techniques and anecdotes on developing a method, The Firm and On Golden Pond. You can learn more about Dave Grusin at www.grusin.net
Thank you for sharing this! As a piano player myself I was always intrigued by the score of The Firm, which is extraordinary. Interesting to hear that it was the director who really pushed for that choice and obviously knew his own mind - a good attribute in a director of course.
A remarkable composer and arranger, who composed some extraordinary film music. My personal favorite song of his is "A Time for Love" from the movie AN AMERICAN DREAM. It's dreamy!
Mr Mandel may not have been a virtuoso pianist on the order to Michel Legrand. But to hear Mandel play even a few measures from Shadow of Your Smile … stunningly moving
"See with your ears and hear with your eyes"
So true.
Such talent ♥️
LAMENTABLEMENTE, LA ADORABLE MARILYN FALLECIO ESTE AÑO, 2023.-
Without a Doubt…Sam Spiegel was a Joke! A Nut!
Happy 97th birthday to Laurence Rosenthal!
wonderful
I met Van back in 1986. I was introduced by Sheila MacRae. Van like me and my music. He was a very nice, very special Human Being. Sheila referred to him as "one of Hollywood's great men." He absolutely was.
Excelente sus arreglos y inmortales sus canciones " EMILY
Greatest respect to Mr Laurence Rosenthal. Rest assured sir that your music has indeed touched our hearts.👍👍👍👏👏👏
Dave Grusin is a truly gifted musician and composer. He was born to compose and play "state of the art " pieces.
This guy is the man ❤
One of the very best!
❤️❤️❤️
Orgulloso de Argentinos como este. 🎹🔥
Greatness is EXACTLY what Danny Elfman IS! He is/was such a great singer too! You don't hear anyone doing what he could do vocally in his Oingo Boingo prime!
Highly intelligent, well spoken, musical genius.
❤
What an amazing man, so talented, yet so humble to not be afraid to ask for advice even though he's a genius himself! I love that writing the horn parts in alto clef so it mainly stays within the stave, an idea he got from Sergei Prokofiev
Great interview, Thank you!
I don't think you were lucky, you were made for this....
Yeah lots of people are 'made for' jobs they never get the chance to do, and he's doubly-lucky to have had a popular band AND gotten into composition as somebody who needs somebody else to actually ARRANGE the stuff for him. He's one of the luckiest people in the entire world. I'd 'write' great stuff too if I had a brilliant orchestrator to actually figure out how anybody else is going to play it, because he can't.
I was listening to Rodney on the ROQ sunday show and heard aint this the life and Only a Lad. They weren't on KROQs rotation yet. I had to see what this band was all about. Nobody had ever seen them before. We saw the first Oingo Boingo Halloween show at Perkins Palace in Pasadena. The show started and the curtain went up 3 feet. I saw dinosaurs flanking the stage shooting guns in rhythm to the songs curtain goes all the way up Danny is a cowboy. Later Danny has a gun shooting zombies onstage as dinosuars drag the bodies offstage. Later Danny grabs a girl out of the crowd and takes her top off on top off and placed her on a experiment gurney it was a wild show. We were hooked. We made many more shows. My 80s Chevy van was The Boingo Bus!
Excited to hear his recollection... as I remember being there for those early shows & hearing them on the World Famous KROQ!! He's such an incredible talent & a cherished part of my adolescent years.. and beyond.. sharing with my kids!! Thank you Danny, Jed the Fish, the Police!!!
Danny Elfman as well as his brother Richard have been living both of their dreams for decades; So blessed to be alive during these decades. Danny sounds like an Amazing Story Teller. of all of the interviews I have clicked on, this interview has restored my faith in humanity. just sharing my Gratitude 😊❤🎉
Oingo Boingo played my Prom at the Queen Mary in Long Beach in 1981
Great Stories. What an intelligent Man
How did THIS guy, looking like your high school algebra teacher, turn into the long-haired, tattooed dude of today?
HGH
He probably would have been your high school algebra teacher or more likely physics or biology teacher if he didn’t switch schools and make friends with a bunch of artistic people. He would’ve been like my high school algebra teacher who was fun and dressed up and played a different character every day for Spirit Week.
@@nuclearcatbaby1131 I dunno -- his brother is pretty weird, too.
@@leavingitblank9363Yeah I think he would rather be a weird scientist than a weird teacher
Queria ter uma mente, um talento e vocal parecido com a de Danny Elfaman. Eu seia um cara muito feliz , me sentiria um máxima esse cara é genial, sua voz sensacional e maravilhosa, muito linda
Right On! Mr.Elfman
A wonderful guy.
STILL my favorite film score composer.
100% hilarious. Enjoy 😂❤🎉
Great storytelling and that's what shows through Danny's scores that makes him a success over and over again
Prince!
As a longtime fan of Oingo Boingo and of Danny Elfman, and also a music journalist who has seen a ton of live music shows, Oingo Boingo shows stand far above the rest. I've never been to a show where an entire arena of people were dancing from beginning until the end, singing along and having the best times of their lives. His songs were full of angst, heart, passion, melody and adrenaline along with so many other adjectives I couldn't possibly include here. Hands down, Danny Elfman is a genius. A downright musical genius.
I subscribed to your channel. Could you please create a video with more of your commentary on Danny Elfman's work?
@@jenniferjoyjones I'm glad you enjoyed my commentary but I'm not affiliated with this channel beyond being a fan. Hopefully this channel will create another Danny Elfman video! If so, I'll be sure to comment on it.
It's fine that you enjoyed it so much but 'I'm a music journalist and they're far above the rest' is not convincing at all. I've been to a lot of shows "where an entire arena of people were dancing from beginning to end" blah blah blah, and none of them were Oingo Boingo. If that's the only show you've ever seen with a lively crowd, it just means you haven't been to a lot of great shows.
@@jamescarter3196 whatever james.
Thank you! 🙏
Every muslim heared and loved the music he composed for the movie ( arrissala )
Best historical music ever
Dave Grusin's influences on the world of music are many. I've been fortunate to discover his music decades ago, and I've followed his jazz and film score career for many years. I am grateful for the joy his genius has provided to me for many years. Unfortunately, his web site (referenced abose) seems to be gone, and the 2018 film about his life and career is no longer available. This full interview also seems no where to be found.
Great interview! Bruce Broughton is a giant Composer/ Musician and I love his music.
In Hollywood....about the year 1996.....I stood in a long line for 3 hours to shake Danny Elfmans hand with my 6 mos old child in my arms and wife with me. I was the only one in line with my family....he looked so surprised when my turn came!! Lol!! He signed my cd of Oingo Boingo. I was so proud!
OINGIO BOINGO is one of my favorite groups. I remember when “wake up it’s 1984 ‘ came out before 1984 .I wrote so many postcards to get you to play at the Anaheim convention center for the high school contest.. we won, and you were my first concert. Thank you. I would love to see you in concert again. . Just saying .
Danny Elfman is pure musical brilliance.
This man is 100% genius.❤❤❤
He told Matt Groening to fuck off! Brilliant!
"Destiny and chance are synonymous." "You can break the rules, but you first know them." "Silence is also music." "Each car has 2 different sounds." "They are all my children." Thank you.
Thank you.
By the way, does he have a show business family himself? I seem to remember a lighting designer from the 1980s and 1990s named John Conti. Is he related to him?
Danny Elfman's score for Midnight Run is absolutely sublime.
Great Matt Groening Story.
