GOLDFINGER
with the South Whidbey High School Jazz Ensemble
Goldfinger, released in 1964, is the third James Bond film, as well as the third to star Sean Connery as MI6 agent James Bond. It is based on the novel of the same name by Ian Fleming. The film also stars Honor Blackman and Gert Fröbe. The film was produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, and was the first of four Bond films directed by Guy Hamilton.
The film is generally regarded as the first official Bond blockbuster as well as the template for all future Bond films; it is usually credited with triggering what is known as the "James Bond craze". The film made cinematic history when it recaptured its production costs in record-setting time, despite a budget equal to that of the two preceding films combined. Goldfinger was also the first Bond film to use a pop star to sing the theme song during the titles, which would follow for every Bond film since except On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
If you are a Bond fan and particularly his themes songs, be prepared to be shaken (not stirred) by Chris Harshman’s award-winning South Whidbey High School Jazz Ensemble!
Accomplished, dedicated, and passionate… these young musicians play far beyond their years.
