Sir John had been around for years and wrote tons of TV themes that many people will be familiar with, in particular The Avengers. Again, another excellent musician and pioneer that has not been recognised by the media, with no news coverage here in the UK.

RIP

Sad.  When I heard he was a "jazz legend" I thought I might have him somewhere on CD as a sideman, but I don't think so.  I'm sure he's a British jazz legend.  I have heard some of his TV and movie themes, though, so he has touched my life in some way.  R.I.P.

Sir John composed the music for Cy Endfield's Sands of the Kalahari and will be sadly missed.  Bluesad

JOHN DANKWORTH also wrote the scores for SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING and DARLING among many others.  He was also married to CLEO LAINE! 
Good night JOHN, you did very well.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
