Howard Shore to Score Mick Jackson’s ‘Denial’

There was once a time when I used to associate courtroom dramas with James Newton Howard. He sure wrote some fine tunes for that genre back in the days. To this day I still can’t believe the man was able to craft that score for Snow Falling on Cedars. Would love it if Shore somehow managed to equally surprise me with this.
