In fact, in addition to a plethora of pop projects (including a score for an original film musical), he is branching out to tackle a rock symphony and a concerto for cello and rock orchestra-notable departures for someone who used to think that "classical music has been almost completely exploited." But then, that was before Composer Jim Webb really took...
