SPY VIBE RADIO: M SQUAD

Greetings, Spy Vibers! Every month I contribute a segment to the Cocktail Nation radio show out of Australia, where I introduce a classic film or show and play selections from the soundtracks. This month I introduce the late-Fifties crime series, M Squad, starring Lee Marvin. Peter Gunn's incredible crime jazz score inspired a new soundtrack for M Squad in its second season which included a new theme by Count Basie. But of special interest to soundtrack lovers, John Williams (Star Wars) wrote two pieces that appeared in the series and on the album. Head over to Cocktail Nation and check them out: Spy Vibe Radio: M Squad. What's on the radar in the Spy Vibe lair? Busy with the start of a new school year, but I have been researching Chinese spy movies from the Sixties for my upcoming book. Many of them featured imported scores from James Bond films, among others. More soon!
