Today, from the Bond on Vinyl archives, we’re moving on from Goldfinger and listening to music from Thunderball!
Michigan-born James Sedlar was a star in football and hockey in high school. He became a bigger sensation as a big-band trumpeter. In the 1950s, he relocated to New York to work as a session musician, Broadway orchestra player, and bandleader. His solo career lasted only a few years in the 1960s, but he appeared on the Barbra Streisand Spectacular, The Jackie Gleason Show, and The Tonight Show.
This 1965 single really showcases Sedlar’s skill on the trumpet for a unique version of “Thunderball”. While his time headlining albums didn’t last, his career as a trumpet player on Broadway continued into the 1990s, including shows such as Cabaret and Fiddler on the Roof.
