Mozart Diamond Enthusiast 2009 Enthusiast of the Year	Posted Tonight I met a friend who asked me if I knew the tune played on the harmonica a few times during the movie "the Getaway" with Steve McQueen and Ali McGraw. I never saw the movie. Would anyone know the name of it?

Posted Hide Post I don't know the tune, but once I saw that Quincy Jones did the original music, I thought Toots Thielemans would be involved. I was right. He did the harmonica solo. I'll try to remember to check his web site tomorrow and see if I can find anything further. http://www.tootsthielemans.com/ Here is a bit more information. A&M Records 1404-S Country United States Format 45RPM Release Date 1973 Quincy Jones' music from the movie - A side, instrumental love theme ("Faraway Forever"); B side, vocal version, both by Quincy Jones.

DorianGreyed Site Administrator	Posted Hide Post The film's original score was composed by frequent Peckinpah collaborator Jerry Fielding, but was replaced, at Steve McQueen's insistence, with the lighter, jazzier film score by Quincy Jones, shortly before the film's release. - Internet Movie Database Visit DorianGreyed's Gifts Visit DorianGreyed's Attic
