How Many Musical styles does Alan writes? He seems to write alot of different styles and he plays these styles well Esspecially Jazz country and spaghetti western styles He is very good at classical and action adventure style

Alan seems to be at ease with big band-style jazz music. I'd be curious to know which music artists he likes to listen to. He obvioulsy has a great deal of respect for the works of Williams, Goldsmith and Herrmann when it comes to film music, but he's got strong pop sensibilities for sure. A cue from his Identity score even sounds a little bit like U2 music :D

:music: Flesh+Blood (Basil Poledouris)

Yes I noticed he is very good at swing and big band he is very good at Jazz of all
kinds He is good at Dixieland and Ragtime and modern 70s jazz and 40s Be Bop
He has a wonderful pop sensibility The Polar Express is a good example of pop
and swing and classical flavors The Parent Trap has a little bit of every thing from dixie to country to John Williams type of thing when Maredith allmost swallows that big bug Stuart Little has a little Leonard Bernstein type of music and a bit of a Rag The man is great at every thing he can sound like a world map with spanish italian irish middle eastern slavic german etc

He has done so much with jaxx and blues and every thing
The Quick and the dead is amazing musically and the mexican

He is truly amazing I hope he does well with what ever films he is on
Hannah Montana and what ever else he does

I do not see any thing for this year they all seem to be for 2009
