Academy Award-winning composer Jerry Goldsmith died on Wednesday this week (July 21st) at age 75. His music for films was imaginative and dynamic, and helped introduce the rhythms and dissonances of modern music to Hollywood. Back in 1998, host David Garland interviewed Goldsmith for Spinning On Air, and this show rebroadcasts that extensive conversation covering Goldsmith's lengthy career composing for radio, television, and movies. We'll also hear from many of Jerry Goldsmith's scores, including Planet of the Apes, Patton, The Trouble With Angels, Star Trek, A Patch of Blue, The Omen, Russia House, The Twilight Zone, and others.
