    Hurwitz's compositions should become jazz standards!

      They’re a long way off from “standards” material. That’s why no jazz musician has even gone anywhere near this cheesy soundtrack.

    I've looked everywhere to find a video with scenes from the scoring of this movie. Considering the importance of music to this movie, I thought they'd be readily available. This has just a few passing scenes of the recording of the score, but it's the closest I could get.

    Keyboard/Piano was my favorite musical instrument since I was a child. At the age of 22, after watching this film, I finally bought one just to learn and play the musical scores of this movie.

      not that complicated. he's using extremely basic terms("it goes back between major and minor" isn't really the best way of explaining the harmony).
      he straight up said 'jazzy.' shows how little he actually knows about music and how overrated he is.
