Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorFor Gaz Alazraki’s remake of “Father of the Bride,” now streaming on HBO Max, the beloved classic about a daughter’s impending wedding day was reimagined with some twists — it moved from Connecticut to Miami, and from a white family to a wealthy Cuban-American brood led by Andy Garcia and Gloria Estefan, parents to Adria Arjona. Diego Boneta portrays the groom, a lawyer from a Mexican family.For the score, Alazraki turned to composer Terence Blanchard, whose credits include “Mo Better Blues,” “Da 5 Bloods” and “BlacKkKlansman.” As heard on the track “Saving Wedding Montage” (listen above), Blanchard provided his own update — a score with his signature jazz sound.When I first read the script, I was wondering if they wanted me to do a Latin-based score because the film has some great Latin artists. But, that’s not what Gaz wanted.
He wanted a Jazz score to counter what he had already put in the movie. When you say jazz, it can mean a whole host of things, so it took us a minute to whittle down what it was that he was looking for. He threw out some names such as Charlie Christian, an American jazz guitarist, and that changed my whole direction.I had also written a few different approaches to the film, and once we had those, it was about finding great musicians who could bring the score to life.I worked with the music producer and talked to him about ideas for the musicians that would play in the orchestra.
It was really about finding the right tone. We discussed it scene by scene. Scoring drama is something I can do in my sleep.

Amy Nicholson The wedding industrial complex has intensified since novelist Edward Streeter wrote his wryly observational satire “Father of the Bride” in 1949.
