The theme for
Jaws is one of the baddest themes ever to emerge from the depths of the cinema. Yet it is a bit simplistic and it has earned its reputation more for being brutally effective than by virtue of its technical prowess. John Williams is a legend and his work with
Jaws is badass, but it should be noted that fellow composer Lalo Schifrin (
Enter the Dragon, Dirty Harry, Mission Impossible) offered up a dazzling jazz rendition of the theme that is both brutally effective and boldly realized. Don't take my word for it, though, do yourself a favor and give it a listen
here. You can thank me later.
