Jazz for James Bond and other Secret Agents, Spies and Detectives - Part 1 [Mondo Jazz 114-1]

For a reason or another, movies about detectives, secret agents or spies have gone mano a mano with jazz, and so this week we'll feature jazz inspired by adventurous characters. In this first segment, the focus is on James Bond and how anyone from Louis Armstrong and Count Basie to Bill Frisell, Dave Douglas and Steven Bernstein, among others, have played with John Barry's compositions just like James Bond has played with Dr. No, Auric Goldfinger and whole bunch of other villains! The playlist features John Barry, Louis Armstrong, Pizzicato Five, CCM Jazz Orchestra, Steven Bernstein, Count Basie, Dave Douglas, Soul Brothers, Bill Frisell, Thomas Morgan, Sexmob and Leroy Holmes.
