Denny Zeitlin, as composer People & Technology

Denny Zeitlin (born April 10, 1938) is an American jazz pianist and psychiatrist who scored Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) — his only film score. Kaufman hired a jazz musician with no film credits to create a sound that didn't come from the Hollywood scoring tradition.
