The classic film music of Jerry Goldsmith stripped down for solo piano.

With THE JERRY GOLDSMITH COLLECTION - VOLUME 2: PIANO SKETCHES, BSX Records presents the music of one of Hollywood's finest musical practitioners translated into the intimate medium of solo piano, arranged and performed by a trio of expert pianists: Dan Redfeld, Joohyun Park, and Mark Northam. Each of these players comes from a somewhat different background and share a profound respect for the composer which is evident in their respectful transliteration of his music onto the piano.

Dan Redfeld is a classically trained concert pianist and composer/conductor who studied at Boston's New England Conservatory. While many of his fellow students were embracing modernistic, atonal music, Redfeld was more interested in tonal, neo-romantic music, an inclination grounded by his studies with acclaimed composer and pianist William Thomas McKinley. Through McKinley, Redfeld met and watched Williams at work with the Boston Pops, and the famous film composer's influence settled into his artistic design. Redfeld began scoring short films for the American Film Institute, and in a day when many film composers were coming out of popular music into Hollywood film scoring careers, he found his academic background particularly advantageous to the music he was writing.

Born in South Korea, Joohyun Park began studying music at the age of six at the prompting of her mother. She received both a Bachelor's and a Master's Degree of Piano from Yon Sei University in Seoul, studying with pianist Myoungwon Shin. She earned a Bachelor's Degree in Contemporary Writing and Production from Boston's famed Berklee College of Music. Her orchestrations and arrangements can be found in PRIEST, DRAG ME TO HELL, CREATION, WHEN IN ROME, LOVE HAPPENS and many other films.

A graduate of the UCLA Extension Film Scoring program, Mark Northam has written and taught extensively about the film and television music business while working for a time as a film composer.
