In honor of the 50th anniversary of "Jaws," we broke down its iconic score with two music experts -- Thomas Forrest Kelly of @harvard.edu and Frank Lehman of Tufts University, who's also a John Williams expert! This was one of the most fun segments I have ever produced: www.wgbh.org/culture/film...
50 years later, the music of ‘Jaws’ still delights and frightens
