February 15, 2024

James David Buttolph Jr. (August 3, 1902 – January 1, 1983) was an American film composer who scored over 300 movies[1] in his career. Born in New York City, Buttolph showed musical talent at an early age, and eventually studied music formally. After earning a music degree, Buttolph moved to Europe in 1923[2][1] and studied in Austria and Germany supporting himself as a nightclub pianist. He returned to the U.S. in 1927[1] and, a few years later, began working for NBC radio network as an arranger and conductor. In 1933, Buttolph moved to Los Angeles and began working in films. Buttolph's best work, according to many, was his work as an arranger on the Alfred Newman score for The Mark of Zorro (1940).
