Best known for his collaborations with George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, he has received numerous accolades, including 27 Grammy Awards, five Academy Awards, seven BAFTA Awards, three Emmy Awards and four Golden Globe Awards. With a total of 54 Academy Award nominations, he is the second-most nominated person in the award's history, after Walt Disney.

The release

About Jaws

The Jaws soundtrack (officially Jaws: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the music composed and conducted by John Williams and performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony for Steven Spielberg's 1975 film Jaws. The soundtrack is particularly notable for the 2-note ostinato which represents the shark, a theme so simple that Spielberg initially thought it was a joke by the composer. The film score was recorded in March 1975 at 20th Century Fox Studios and Universal. Williams then expanded and rearranged the cues for the commercial release to provide a more cohesive listening experience. The soundtrack album was released on LP by MCA in 1975, reaching number 32 on the Billboard charts in September 1975.
