Jaws | Soundtrack Suite (John Williams)

Everybody talks about the shark theme, but the adventure score in the second half of the film is just amazing.

I still think that this is one of the greatest soundtracks ever made.

Makes me want to see that awesome movie. Interesting to follow along through its music .

'Fire you son of a bitch' 🦈 💥

Your the mayor of shark city then the disbelieve father in amityville

Once drunk in a party over a cliff at night. I saw people in a beach party in the cove under the cliff. Drinking and swimming in the dark. I asked the friend owner of where We partying. If the loudspeakers were very powerful. Yup, he said. The I suggested if We could made an experiment to test how powerful the loudspeakers were and I suggested pointing at the cove as it would make echo and put Jaws score. He said. You are a bastard! We turned all loudspeakers towards the cove with the other and we put the score. The water got empty in seconds.

When this epic was made was before the lutz family moved to amityville and the island in the jaws movie was amity 🤔

Utterly brilliant movie and soundtrack

The music is so powerful that even here on my bed on dry land, I feel like any minute the wall is going to be destroyed by a gigantic shark. This is the absolute best. If you’re able to convey terror through music, you’ve created a masterpiece. Pure genius.

Yo tenía 11 años en 1976 y viendo esta película en Granada, España, nunca había pasado tanto miedo. Y hoy su música todavía me angustia. Gracias!

Spielberg + Williams = Magic²

John Williams has a real sensitivity that film composers of today don't know

1975. The summer that began my 15 years of absence from playing in the ocean. It's not just Bruce the shark that kept me out. John Williams' music was a big contributor to my fear of the ocean thanks to this soundtrack that continues to this day to play in my head when I'm at the beach and remotely think of re-entering the ocean. Kudos to you, Mr. Williams.

😍

Some of this is extremely intimidating music. I'm not surprised this movie was a huge hit

In the same year (1975) composer Jerry Goldsmith lost oscar by his astonishing score for „The Wind an the Lion“

I don't like Steven Spielberg..but like this film.

The movie that taught me never to swim in the ocean

Fantastic movie fantastic soundtrack just dont do them like this anymore

Who still jumps when old Ben head pops out the hole in his boat it's the music too that makes me even tho I seen it countless times

Speilberg had some doubts about using just two notes....He should never have doubted John Williams....What else could this music be about than a large hungry shark.

Bruce you were si vilified. I love you Bruce

The score that skyrocketed John's popularity in the film industry and officially marked his fellowship with Spielberg and almost every film he's directed. The first true summer blockbuster. Love watching "Jaws" around every July 4th.

Ben Gardners boat music one of the best cues

Truly magnificent!! I'm standing on the shoreline at dawn and this music is totally befitting

Brilliant. 💕

I Love The "Ending" Theme In This Soundtrack...... Sounds Just Like Summer To Me. xo

The themes created by John Williams are almost a separate character, make you review a movie one scene every moment we hear, you immediately feel the same feelings of being in the cinema watching those scenes for the first time, that's how it is with Jaws, Superman, Star Wars and etc .... Fantastic John Williams

Remember, Amity means friendship.

Thanks

Saw this movie on the day it opened in NYC, and after I calmed down I realized I had to get the OST! Fortunately, the OST became readily available in Manhattan, and it became one of my favorite scores.

i think this is John's most famous theme ,even bigger then Star Wars and its just two notes played faster or slower .............and its just genius

I've been working on a portrait painting of Quint these past few days and I'm pretty sure a good portion of these views are mine! :D think I'm on the verge of wearing out the repeat button. Brilliantly executed Fred! Thank you once again for putting in the work!! <3

This movie was such a scare-fest the first time I saw it that I had to see it again and again. No movie was going to keep me away from the theater, LOL! Of course, I had to get the OST, and when a bigger OST came out, I had to get that too! And I just kept seeing more movies scored by John Williams . . .

Steven Spielberg as director and John Williams makes the soundtrack-what could possibly go wrong?

Where did the studio chatter on the Main Title come from? I have the Intrada CD and don’t recall hearing it.

Dang great movie by an up-coming cinema director(Stephen Spielberg) that had either one or two other movies to his career. This movie I've seen many times and I still can't watch the ending of "Captain Quint" being chewed up by the Great White-Super-Sized! Back when the movie had been released in early Summer of 1975, I was nearing 25 years old. My parents and I tried once or twice to see the movie in Indy...all tickets were sold out. (After that first try, we settled on a good family movie: "Benji". The following weekend we finally saw "Jaws". Still a sold out theater but we managed to get our tickets early enough with a two hour wait. My parents were not able to secure three seats in a row, so, I had to find one available seat not taken...next to a man in his late 40's. Remember the scene of oceanagrapher, Matt Hooper and the nighttime dive he wanted to do to see if the old resident of Martha's Vineyard who liked nighttime fishing survived the shark attack? Well...when that music climaxed to that chewed off head of "Ben's"...I literally grabbed that unknown 40ish year old man by the neck and screamed in his ear! What an embarrassment...and funny laugh That rose up around us.
Anyway...the next week I got the soundtrack album and still consider it one of my all-time favorites in my collection.
"Jaws II & III" are not as good as the first. (That's fairly true for most movies that try to be better than the first.

Brilliant

The intro
Brrrr......😱
👍

Thank you Fred for posting this. I could not have said it any better than you summing it up in how you feel. This is what all others....including STAR WARS, in how they would be measured by comparison to this masterpiece. I'd recommend posting all of the soundtrack in multiple 15 min videos. Blessings to you sir for doing this....and my heartfelt thanks to John Williams and all that hand a hand in making this masterpiece....

Good 👍

Only pool please.....2019

I have the Intrada 2CD and the 25th Anniversary disc and still I click to listen. Nice job with the Suite Fred.

So ingrained is the John Williams score to the film that another composer doing it is now completely unimaginable GET OUT OF THE WATER🏊🐋

Thanks, Fred! Your suite has convinced me that this a truly great score.
