'Twas someone callled Kenyon Hopkins.

kenyon hopkins was a major (mostly jazz) soundtrack composer for a number of very influential key movie scores in the 60s, such as Mister Buddwing, Baby Doll etc.

hmmmm...was there ever an OST release then? i counted a good handful of groovers in the Francis Lai mould

lots of info on Kenyon Hopkins here . . . Kenyon Hopkins ( no relation )

i really rate that Mister Buddwing by the way - it's a really excellent funky jazz old school out of the Jimmy Smith bag type of a record. no credited musicians but it does sound like Jimmy on keys on that Westside Radio track.

Dig the 'Moon Gas' era Creed Taylor production on that OST too!
