RIP Johnny Keating (1927 – 2015)


The Edinburgh-born composer/arranger/trombonist and - yes - genius Johnny Keating died on Thursday 28th May at the age of 87, after a long period suffering from dementia. There is a short obituary in the Edinburgh Evening News, and a longer piece in the Scotsman.

His arrangements for the Ted Heath Band were masterful, and continue to be widely played by big bands. He reached wider public renown as the composer of the theme tune for Z Cars and for his arrangement of Aram Khachaturian which was the theme music for The Onedin Line.
