How John Williams Came Up With The Sound For Catch Me If You Can

At a recent meeting of the Academy of Scoring Arts, we spent a session dissecting the unique sound of John Williams’s unique 2002 jazz score to Catch Me If You Can. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Score and the Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media. What follows is a brief video I produced, which shows how the character of the soundtrack was developed.

I attended a Veteran's Day ceremony today. It always makes me emotional. I am forever grateful for those who put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms and our country. Thank you, veterans.

Fun fact: I've been a composer using @motutech's Digital Performer since it looked like this... (and before DP, I used Deluxe Music Construction Set - DMCS).
