Today, from the Bond on Vinyl archives, we’re still listening to Dr. No, From Russia with Love, Goldfinger, and Thunderball!
William “Count” Basie was a jazz pianist, composer, and band leader who helped Monty Norman give the original Dr. No soundtrack its memorable Jamaican styling.
This 1966 album (from United Artists Records) features Basie on the piano. His orchestra provides an incredibly unique take on themes from the first four Bond films. Imagine entering a swinging mid-60s jazz club for a Bond night – that would be the ultimate groovy experience.
This album is also likely the fastest-arriving record that I purchased online. I expected to receive it in the mail, but apparently the seller was local and it was on my porch a few hours after paying.😄
