Whilst recording the score, Budd was influenced by Ronnie Scott and Tubby Hayes thus giving the music a jazz-sounding theme. Scott played the saxophone for the car chase sequence, which took place alongside the Mississippi River. According to Tuchner, "the sequence needed to be recorded in a continuous ten-minute plus take, whilst hitting split-second action cues so as to blend perfectly with the chase sound effects. Budd and his orchestra achieved this in just two takes".
@60march Wow, thanks for that. Pity they didn't credit Ronnie (or maybe I missed it - but I always CHECK music credits) for the solo work.
Anecdotally, I MET the late, great Roy Budd (he was a celebrity fare I had, when chauffeuring). It was after this - but before he scored "Who Dares Wins" - but mostly we spoke about Chris Karan and the late Pete McGurk.
I have Tubby's incredible music from "Crescendo" on YouTube - check THAT out!
@N734NJ I like the way that, early in the sequence, the chassis gets bent on a landing - but it DOESN'T "miraculously" straighten out in the next shot!
Hey it,s PETROCIELLI ,Does anyone know if he,s finished his house yet.

Great score by Roy Budd who's music was a plus point for every film he did.
