Ellis was viewed by many established jazz musicians as being a bit too much of a showman, given his band's tendency to dress up in trendy costumes, flirt with rock music, and other eccentric behaviors.

Conquest for the Planet of the Apes (1972) is the darkest film in the series, set in futuristic and fascist 1991 where humans have forced apes into slavery.
Jazz musician and film composer Tom Scott -- then only 24 years old -- updated the Apes sound into a harsh and slightly more contemporary feel, writing a memorably rhythmic main title and aggressive brass licks for the climactic ape riots.
This CD features his complete Conquest score as heard in the picture plus numerous cues which were dropped from the film and have never before been heard -- including his original seven-minute finale, eliminated when a revised ending was concocted in the editing room.
