Not bad. No great, mind you, but did he have o ape, ape, ape the Swing, Swing, Swing cue?
Which itself is more than a little inspired by 'Sing, Sing, Sing.' Though Tyler's effort sounds more like Randy Newman's big band stuff in 'The Natural' to me.
This is the kind of music I should definitely check. Surprised it has Tyler's name on it - not the genre one tends to associate with the composer. The musical approach is not I expected for the subject matter either.
The entire score is now available on all streaming services - Deezer, Tidal, Google Play, Amazon Music, Apple Music, iTunes - https://lnk.to/cra_scoreFA

It's a good score, some traditional dramatic score cues, and the great swing styled stuff.
If you like this, check out his Plan B score, I think iTunes still has it to offer. That one is strictly big band swing and is one of my favorites from Tyler, tremendously fun.
I have listened to this twice now streaming on Amazon. There is some really great stuff here, some great lush orchestra tracks, a couple fun swing tunes...all in all, I am really enjoying it.
John Broxton's review is a very good assessment of Tyler's score. I saw this film to please my wife and I came out having had a thoroughly good time. Charming film and performers and Tyler's work serves the film extremely well.
I went into the film having forgotten who was scoring it, and when, at the end, Tyler's credit appeared, I was both surprised and impressed that he had this kind of score in him. (As to his haircut--yes, he looks like a younger Nordic cousin of Conan O'Brien.)
Very good music - modern scoring with old-fashioned quality. Although there were many (well-chosen) songs, the score carried much of the energy and emotion as you would want. A fine effort.
The film was outstanding with terrific performances all around.
