John Morris Russell Talks Shaken Not Stirred
Dan and Tom interview Maestro John Morris Russell (JMR) about his Chicago Symphony Orchestra concert, “Shaken Not Stirred,” musical scores, and James Bond music. As you might have guessed, the concert’s focus is the music of James Bond. You may know JMR from his work as the conductor of the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra for the past 13 years.
Joining JMR in the concert is the amazing vocalist Capathia Jenkins. She possesses the wide vocal range needed to cover the various styles of singers from the James Bond catalog.
We will be attending the concert and we’re sure James Bond fans will enjoy this one.
In this episode, JMR talks about what to expect in this concert and how they put it together. He also talks about his career, why he decided to conduct instead of play an instrument, some influential composers, and film scoring in general. If you’ve ever wanted to know what a composer has to deal with in scoring a movie, JMR gives you a good idea. It is really amazing how they do it.
One other area we discuss is how technology has made composition more efficient. Much is the same as it's been for hundreds of years. But, some of it is streamlined today.
Raymond Benson with an assist
Dan and Tom wanted some expertise for this interview, so they asked Raymond Benson for an assist. Of course, Raymond graciously agreed. Raymond helped us delve into other composers' works and JMR’s experiences with them. Plus, Raymond tells of a very scary experience he had with composer John Barry.
