I too was saddened by this news. Time Machine is one of my favorite scores. May he rest in peace.

Last time I had heard from him was less than a month ago, He was thrilled about the tour he was doing. He was such a lovely person, so full of life and always cheered me and everyone up. Yes his music was really a pure work of genius Dorian. couldnt call it any less!

Rest in peace, Russ Garcia.

His film work exceptional as well as his many jazz recordings and work with countless vocalists.

I've always loved the title of one of his recordings from the 50's... "I'll Never Forget What's Her Name".

And just a few short weeks ago, Pete Rugolo as well.
