Archive material and source history
Dave Porter composed the main title theme for the television series 'The A-Team' in 1973. The piece, sometimes listed as 'Main Title Theme (Extended),' became widely recognized for its dramatic orchestration and driving rhythm, setting the tone for the show's action sequences.
His work includes the album 'Escape from New York' from 1981, which features his film score compositions. He also contributed to tribute albums like 'The Symphonic Film Music of John Williams' in 1984 and 'The Music of Jerry Goldsmith' in 1995, collaborating with orchestras such as the London Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
Porter's band has included musicians like Bill Reichenbach on trombone, Tom Scott on saxophone, and Jerry Hey on trumpet, with Gary Grant on drums and Brian Bromberg on bass. These players helped bring his compositions to life in recordings and performances.
