James Bond Songbook CD Preview
8th October 2006
The BGP Sound Library Presents: The James Bond Songbook
- James Bond Sextet
A hip and groovy jazz take
on the world of James Bond from 1965 - the height of the
original Bond mania. This rare album is seeing its first
ever reissue and is taken from the original mastertapes.
It is the latest in BGP’s Sound Library series, which
is now onto its 3rd volume of filmic instrumental grooves.
The original album used legendary jazz
and session bassist Jimmy Bond and contracted his name to
James. Bond was a mainstay of the LA scene, playing with
jazzers such as Charlie Parker and Elmo Hope, and with Phil
Spector, Randy Newman and Frank Zappa (on his Lumpy Gravy
project) amongst others. The group on this CD includes some
of the finest jazz talent on the West Coast, including a
brilliant horn and reed line-up of Harold Land on tenor,
Buddy Collette on flute and tenor and Bobby Bryant on trumpet.
