I enjoyed all his collaborations with Clint, especially his exciting score to Absolute Power.

I only have a few of his works, but everyone of them I enjoy. Rest well, Mr. Niehaus.
PS: Still awaiting a release of Space Cowboys and The Rookie

Sad news. RIP Mr Niehaus.
I have seen two films he scored, ABSOLUTE POWER and TRUE CRIME.

My condolences to music lovers on his death.

Yes, sadly ironic that he died aged 90 just as Clint was blowing out the 90 candles on his cake.
"Doing a Howard", this might be the thread which Thor is thinking about. I'm glad the link to the JazzWax interviews still seems to work.

P.S. - I've just re-read the JazzWax interview I linked to in the old thread. Really fascinating to get an overall idea of the Niehaus-Fielding "symbiotic" (my conclusion) relationship. Also essential reading for those with an interest in jazz.

I haven't heard his Contemporary album, but I like that style and period. Coincidentally, I've had my eye on another Contemporary album from the fifties by composer/saxophonist Duane Tatro called Jazz For Moderns. There is a cd that combines the Tatro with Niehaus's Complete Fifties Recordings. Maybe I should spring for it.

RIP - Unforgiven is a terrific score- very understated by powerful. He also used to write Jazz charts that we would play in high school. He was high school friends with Clint I believe.

Ah ha. So thats the connection and hence years of collaboration. Yes his simple but effective theme to Unforgiven was superb. Sad to hear.

The Duane Tatro album is discussed in this part of the Jazzwax interview -
https://www.jazzwax.com/2009/11/interview-lennie-niehaus-part-4.html
And the Eastwood-Fielding stories (going back to 1952) are on the next page. Easy to navigate from the previous link, or go directly here -

Let me check those links - my spaceship has limited keypad functions. One moment...Damn - My spaceship can't correct that malfunction. One of the links is correct at least. You can go back and forward though from the page that shows.
UPDATE - Both links now work - gravitational pull melted putty in window frame.

There was an LP release of Leith Stevens' score to Don Siegel's 1954 movie PRIVATE HELL 36, wasn't there? Niehaus was on sax on the original film tracks. Was he brought back for the LP recording? Or was it a release of the original soundtrack?
