The bee''s knees (the EMI years 1957 - 1962)

Description

Legendary composer of the soundtracks of the early James Bond films, seasoned jazzman, John Barry has long entered into legend. This box set The Bee's Knees (The EMI Years 1957 - 1962), which brings together 3 CDs unavailable since the mid-90s, explores the beginning of his career from his hits with the John Barry Seven (Hit And Miss, Walk Don't Run, The Magnificent Seven) to his first soundtracks (Beat Girl, Never Let Me Go, A Jolly Bad Fellow). The John Barry style is already there, with his 60's guitars with catchy riffs, his fiery brass, and his sophisticated strings. A great arranger, John Barry occasionally took the great hits of the time and transformed them into true gems (Blueberry Hill, Unchained Melody, The Magnificent Seven). Anthological, The Bee's Knees (The EMI Years 1957-1962) will therefore appeal to both fans of 60's pop who cherish Swinging London and film music enthusiasts, especially since it features the timeless The James Bond Theme.
