Los Angeles Times Profile: Emile Mosseri On His Lush ‘The Last Black Man in San Francisco’ Score

 

Taking inspiration from European composers like Michael Nyman and Georges Delerue, Mosseri “romanticized” the city with its own impressionistic identity — swirling woodwinds, shivering strings and regal brass. – Tim Greiving, Los Angeles Times
