Who is this Jerry Goldsmith person?

mark ford's post already says everything I can say about this release. Except this: I've always especially admired how many different modes, idioms, approaches Goldsmith had at his disposal. I've always felt he had maybe the biggest "toolbox" to draw from, leading to so many different kinds of scores over the decades, while still remaining wholly himself.*
I too especially love the chamber-scale orchestrations. The musicians play these scores quite idiomatically - a couple of times I've actually thought "wow this sounds really good for such an old recording" until I realize it ain't!
*(Except "Where the Bad Guys are Gals," which sounds like Jerry doing Mancini/Hefti - until he starts working with it orchestrally, and then it's all him.)

"And on the day of release we had sold over 1000 copies..... so volume 2 already in the works .....with more of the same"
My local dealer hasn't sent me my copy yet, so I haven't heard it, but even so, James, your announcement of the next volume is the best news I've heard all year. I thank you from the bottom of my adolescent, 1961 heart.

And did you get my email about a certain film we have been talking about for rather a long time .....?
Good GOD James...please don't tease like that unless you are serious. I almost choked on my lunch. A certain film Preston has been talking with people about for a rather a long time could really only mean one thing...that certain film which Preston wrote a certain excellent book about. If this is somehow happening it will make my decade.
