I've been on a Brit Kick, listening to 1960s-early 1970s Ron Grainer, Edwin Astley, Laurie Johnson, John Barry, Barry Gray, John Barry Gray, Ken Thorne, Tony Hatch, John Dankworth, Johnny Harris, Roy Budd, and lots of KPM and various library and instrumental stuff from this period.
It all has such a distinctive sound. It sounds like the best party that was ever thrown, and I am standing at the window hoping to get invited in. I cannot get enough of it right now.

Onyabirri's talking about the eclectic people who could score jazz-orientated as well as 'classical' scores. The US had quite a few too, like Kaplan and Mullendore, and 100 more, though here Goldsmith, wonderful though he was, is all that gets a look in.
A lot of that generation in the British camp were ex-servicemen, who played in the Forces. That goes too for the likes of Cordell and Addison.

To that list I'd add Peter Knight, Richard Rodney Bennett, John Scott and Stanley Myers. Agreed, a phenomenal pool of talent, who created some of the best scores of all time. Probably my favorite time and place in film music history.
