 We at The Musical Theater Project/Harbinger Records mourn the
passing of a dear friend: composer and arranger JOHN MORRIS. Though best known as Mel Brooks’s composer of choice, John had a significant Broadway career as a dance music arranger (Bells Are Ringing, Bye Bye Birdie and lots more) and wrote the music for A Time for Singing. We are proud to include many of his performances as pianist/arranger on the classic Walden Records albums from the 1950s, now available on the Harbinger label. Listen to John play Gershwin or Rodgers: Scintillating! Click HERE to read his full obituary printed in the New York Times.

I've heard about John Morris before. I know that he's a famous composer. I've actually listened to his songs before. I'm a fan of his music and I'm glad to have discovered his work during his lifetime. I know that he's inspired a ton of musicians for this generation. I hope that I can witness the rise of the next John Morris, over the next few decades. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
