Derrick Bang – Crime and Spy Jazz on Screen

June 29, 2020

Some of the greatest and most memorable jazz scores for television and film have been for crime and spy vehicles. Think about the dramatic intro score to Mission: Impossible or atmospheric music of The Ipcress File. On this episode of Inquiry, we talk with columnist and writer DERRICK BANG who has written on of the wildest jazz histories. Tonight we talk about Volume 1: CRIME AND SPY JAZZ ON SCREEN: 1950-1970. Cue the theme to James Bond.
