Music commentator Dave Wilson looks at the work of Lalo Schifrin, an Argentine composer who died at the age of 93 this week and may best be remembered for creating the theme to Mission Impossible.
Dave joins Kathryn to talk about how his style of film music rejected the boundaries around jazz and classical music and had an impact far beyond the projects her wrote for.
Dave Wilson is a saxophonist, clarinetist, composer, and interdisciplinary scholar, a Senior Lecturer in Music at the New Zealand School of Music-Te Kōkī.
