Media Watch: human highlight reel go-to guy.

Today offered something I wasn't sure I'd ever see...a mention of Trevor in The New Yorker.
http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/culture/2014/04/nba-music.html

The subject of Ben Greenman's Culture Desk column is "N.B.A. Music," as the first round of the NBA playoffs are nigh, and he traces the evolution of the organization's theme songs since the mid-1970s.  Trevor's contribution, which has served for many years as the main theme for TNT's coverage of the NBA, is given a namecheck and YouTube link for the composition illustrating his strengths in composing a memorable theme which provides the appropriate emotional cues in a short time span.  But I take exception to his statement that John Tesh's theme is superior...okay, sure, Tesh can deliver that big brassy sound which hijacks your attention from anything else, but Trevor is a rock star, okay?  And that's what counts in the grandeur of professional basketball.  Enjoy the drama...and when you do, you know the music of the Maestro will be leading the way.
