This week on Film Score Friday, we listen to the score from Chinatown. Jerry Goldsmith wrote the score for this 1974 detective film. This falls into the bad film, great score category. The story goes that the original composer was fired at the last minute and Goldsmith had 10 days to put this score together. What he put together is a score emblematic of the film noir vibe the film takes. The highlight is the solo Trumpet that is front and center for so much of the score. Uan Rasey, the prolific studio musician, played these amazing solos on the original recording. When you listen to this score, it's easy to hear the level of influence this had on scores ever since.
