American jazz composer Benny Golson has died, age 95.

Golson was the composer of one of my favorite "funk"-styled M:I cues, often heard from S5 onwards.

Sorry to hear it. Alas, he wasn't even on the list, so he passed before I could even add him. Did he do any feature film scores of note?

I've also removed Giacomo dell'Orso after his death earlier this month.

Sorry to hear this, but a long life and well lived.

I would love La La Land's M:I television scores set to have included a little more of Benny's music - not that he did a huge amount for the show, but I understand Lalo had to take priority. Just playing his jazz-rocky cue 'The Wig Out', from the days when TV scoring wasn't in the hands of drone meisters like it often is today.

RIP Benny!

Golson wrote the infectious "Killer Joe," which was the kick-off tune for Quincy Jones's Grammy winning 1969 album Walking in Space.
