Truly amazing that Denny is still creative at 88. He was still being mentioned when I lived in Chicago in the 1980’s and ‘90s. To my knowledge he has never stopped practicing psychology either.

Actually psychiatry. And yes, he still has an active practice.

Thanks for the clarification, Bill. The difference being he can prescribe medication?

Among other things, I'd guess. He's an M.D.

Marc, it's interesting that you mention Denny's "cinematic moods." His 1978 score for the remake of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" is one of the great film scores. Go here:

I knew not much about Denny Zeitlin but thanks to your Interview from 2021, I'm a little wiser now. 🙂
