Perseverance Records: "As director Philip Kaufman explained in his commentary for the MGM DVD, 'Denny was a friend of mine from college; I've known Denny for many, many years. He's a psychiatrist, practicing in Marin County and San Francisco, and a well-known if not great jazz pianist and composer. I took [producer Robert Solo] to see Denny � I just had the feeling that Denny would understand the nature of paranoia, and he had some very avant garde techniques in his jazz playing, and because we were friends, we worked really closely throughout on the score� I remember he worked with an assistant named Phil Sawyer who was savvy not only on film music but film sound effects, so that a lot of Denny's score moves into the sound effects area.'"
