..last night at my gig. The original Star Trek battle music. :D He also co composed the Roots soundtrack with Quincy Jones and a bunch of other classic 60's and 70's tv show music (mission impossible, gilligans island...) . Cool dude. 82 years old.

You met Gerald Fried? Wow, I'm jealous. I actually did a report on the cultural influences of black film composers for school once. Gerald Fried, Quincy Jones, and Terrence Blanchard. Besides Roots and a few Star Trek episodes, Fried scored Stanley Kubrick's earliest films. Wow, must have been a real treat!

When I first read the post, I thought you meant you met Theodore Sturgeon, but he's dead... :D

Hey Steve ... that is a great piece of music and very recognizable if your a trekie.
I have always thought that it resembled the wicked witch of the west guard theme music when they are marching into the castle. But that's just me.







:cool:

Yeah, he was awesome and very friendly. He came up to me and complimented my playing and was clapping after every song. :D Then I talked to him a little about his career, later, after his step son in law told me.. I didn't know him but he looked like a Hollywood guy.

Yeah, I love 60's and 70's tv music. I'm not a trekie but I was raised in that era, so it's familiar anyway. :)

He did some Lost in Space episodes too. Sounds similar.
