Interesting: GJ was considered a "quadruple threat" - composer, arranger, conductor, performer.
Can anyone guess who among his contemporaries was always being compared to him?

Paul Weston comes to mind.

It was: Johnny Green.

Can anyone name the 3 contemporary people circa Johnny Green was asked by Jenkins' biographer to evaluate, as quadruple threats?

Randy Newman would appear to be a quad threat (albeit in more contemporary times)...
This would be in the mid 80's, so RN qualifies. (Although I don't know him quite so much for conducting....)

The 2 that I remember (darn-it, I forgot the 3rd, and so it could well be Randy Newman)...
Are both WELL-KNOWN HERE, for their film work.
Think "pops concerts" and you'll on the right trail....

No guesses? Then think "3 music nominations in one year."

I'm gonna keep tryin....
Both of them had 3 music nominations in one year.
One of them won all of them.
One of them lost all of them.

Was it either of these two?
Or these two?
Newman/Redford + Streisand/Redford = Best Score, Best Score Adaptation, and Best Song Nominations in a SINGLE year
Nobody's got a guess?
Seriously?
You DARE to call yourselves Sons of the Kendall???

One for the ages!
I saw this the night it was broadcast, and for years afterward hoped that somebody at NBC was preserving it. Hence, my ecstacy some years ago when I saw this Youtube clip. Of course, this Youtube dupe is not in the best of shape, but there's reason to hope the original first-generation tape exists. Thanks for sharing this, Howard!

Okay, Nerd-wannas, it's time to bend your mind toward figuring out who had 3 noms in 1 year and lost all three.

And I think I remember who the fourth quad-threat was.
He didn't do many film scores.
But he wrote a ton a songs, and song-length pieces, with very colorful names.

Oh and sorry SDOB for going off on a tangent. Preston & I do tend to do that together what being up in years and all at this place, ya know?! ANYWAY I do believe you’re looking at A. Newman 1940 in yer nerd quiz, verdad? 
AN was not a "quadruple threat": composer, conductor, arranger AND performer. (Triple, yes)
I'll have to dream up another clue!

Gordon Jenkins was, in my opinion, the best of all the orchestral arrangers for the great vocalists. The two albums he did for Nat "King" Cole, THE VERY THOUGHT OF YOU and LOVE IS THE THING, are as beautiful as anything ever released. His arrangement for the song THE VERY THOUGHT OF YOU is an instantly recognizable classic.
Used at the end of Goldsmith's CABOBLANCO, as well as in countless other films, commercials, events etc.
