Yes, alot of people dig Serge. Colombier has an exploratory edge that I really like, and I go for some of his stuff. But I'm going in a different direction with this post.
As I have mentioned in a prior post here, Henry Mancini uses a Clavinet on the score for the 1979 Blake Edwards movie "10," with Bo Derek, Julie Andrews & Dudley Moore.
There is really not much for Henry to do in Blake Edwards' "10" with Julie Andrews singing, Dudley Moore tickling the ivories, & Bolero for the love-making scenes. His love theme is very nice, and it is also used for a song that Julie Andrews and Dudley Moore sing during the end titles.
I do not have the WB release of the ST, so the following notes just come from viewing the film. The Clavinet usage notes are listed chronologically. I believe I have got them all.
1. There is a funky Clavinet playing when the swinger couple sees George Webber (Moore) and Sam ("Samantha" - Andrews) have a telescope in their bedroom at George's house also.
2. After George (Moore) goes to the dentist and is questioned by the police, he drives to the "sex-party" at the neighbor's house. The party source music has a Clavinet in it. I also heard a vocal line in a different cut of the party scene: "Get up, get up, get up, baby." I don't recognize it; it could be a popular period dance song.
3. When George (Moore) calls & gets hung-up on by the teenage boy, Sam's son, the source music coming from the TV is a heavy Clavinet groove. (It almost looks like Saturday Night Fever is playing on the tv the young fellow is watching.)
4. When George (Moore) knocks on Jenny's (Derek) door for the first time, a Fender Rhodes is playing, & a Clavinet without any effects at all. This is the scene when Jenny is just out of the shower, answers the door, gives George a tush-view, then gives the camera a boob-view via her bathroom mirror. The clean Clavinet only plays for a few bars, & then the Rhodes takes over. It is actually source music, as Jenny turns off a radio, & the music stops. Mancini is a master with source music.
- Obviously, Ravel Bolero when George and Jenny go to bed the first time, and when George and Sam lay down in view of their neighbor's telescope. No Clavinet there.
And that's it. Full Clavinet analysis for Blake Edwards' movie "10," with music by Henry Mancini. Interesting to note that the Clavinet is only used in source music - an indication of the period in which the film takes place.

Re: Full list. No doubt. I bet we've just scracthed the surface. It's buried in the mix of a bunch of 70s scores for sure. And we've found one as recent as Grusin's Pope of Greenwich Villiage (1984).
Very happy that you've found a Goldsmith score that uses the Clavinet; how great is that. I can't believe I missed that one, though. I will help with verification on that, and I still need to check QJ Hot Rock.
We defintely forgot Cleo Jones 1973. The Wrecking Yard and Wrap Up, which I remember off the top of my head. There's probably 4 or 5 others on that JJ Johnson FSM ST, [edit]maybe tracks 2 (Wrecking Yard), 6, 9, 11 (Wrap Up), 13, 28.
