“The first thing I played for Steven on this piano was this; I played that for him and he said, ‘What is that? What are you going to do with that?’”: John Williams recalls the first time he played the Jaws theme for Spielberg in new documentary

The jury’s out on whether he’s the greatest movie soundtrack composer of all time, but few would dispute that John Williams has written more memorable (and hummable) themes than pretty much anyone else. 

From Star Wars and Indiana Jones to Jurassic Park and ET the Extra-Terrestrial, Williams has worked on some of the biggest blockbusters of all time, and his genius is now set to be celebrated in a new documentary, Music by John Williams, on Disney+.
