Description

Discover the hidden history behind the iconic sounds of 007. In The Music of James Bond, author Jon Burlingame explores the real-life drama that shaped the soundtracks of Ian Fleming's famous spy adventures. This book takes readers behind the scenes of the recording studio and into the courtroom to uncover the extraordinary stories of the music that defines the franchise. Learn how the legendary James Bond Theme was composed at the last minute for Dr. No and how it eventually led to a high-profile libel trial in London's High Court decades later. You will also find out how composer John Barry changed cinema history by creating a brand new style of action-adventure music. This book is an essential read for film music fans and anyone interested in the production history of one of the world's most successful movie series.
