Re: Oakland. Gail Kubik was the composer of GERALD McBOING-BOING. I believe Raksin's contribution to the occasion was Thurber's THE UNICORN IN THE GARDEN.
Eric, was that World's Fair opus a muli-screen epic I've read about? I understand the music was outstanding Americana.
I think it behooves all of us to gang up on Eames Dimetrios (SP?), grandson and keeper of the family flame, and plead with him to release more volumes of Bernstein/Eames scores. They were an important part of Bernstein's compositional contribution to 20th Century American culture, and ditto the films themselves in terms of Charles and Ray's significance.

Did Bernstein provide the Shearing-esque score for "Kaleidoscope Jazz Chair," or is that library music?
Elmer did not do "Kaleidoscope Jazz Chair", no.

The Making of is on a 2 LP set. Look for it. Unfortunately it's loaded down with dialogue.
And there is not a note of Bernstein's score on it!
My 2 LP set has the score as it is direct from the TV soundtrack. None of it is stand alone. Do you know any other way to obtain or listen to this score? If so I would be on the glad to purchase list.
mrscott, Dana is correct. The 2-LP set of THE MAKING OF THE PRESIDENT 1960 on United Artists Records contains music by Ken Lauber, who was employed by United Artists Records at the time. There's no Bernstein music on that album. If you can find the film on DVD or VHS, you'll note that Elmer's score is something else again (and he was awarded an Emmy for it).
I can only surmise that there must have been some contractual reason for his music not to be heard on those discs...

Good for you. I did the same thing a few years ago, and got a very nice reply.
You might also consider going on Youtube, where some kind soul has contributed the documentary film, The Making of the President 1960. Your ears will hear that the music is Elmer Bernstein's and is entirely different from what is on that 2-LP set.
