    Ludovico is actually right. Back when a friend of mine and I were about to interview Ed Lima, one of the three composers of Nightfire, the 2002 Bond video game that is, he revealed that he was given a sheet of “dos and donts” by Danjaq (in his own words) about Bond music and what sort of music Bond would himself listen to. Jazz and blues were listed as his muses, but nothing outside of them, and they were highlighted even. So, yes, Bond’s taste in music is conservative, and it makes me glad as those genres are mostly the ones I resort to when it comes to music.

    Did he say anything more about those "dos and don'ts" regarding Bond music, especially in terms of the underscore they were to compose?
    Not much from what I recall. I have to dig through private message boxes to find it. And in terms of Facebook, it's not going to be easy. Especially when the "Search in Conversation" function is useless. :))

    Imagining Bond's record collection now - all on vinyl, of course (to be played on a high-end record player - possibly vintage even): full of rare limited pressings, and perhaps bootlegs he's gathered on his many adventures abroad! :))

    Edit: Perhaps he would play his music on something like a Thorens TD 124? (image found on Instagram)
    I have to say I'd be disappointed if I don't see a Marlene Dietrich in his collection. ;)

    Has Bond ever mentioned Marlene Dietrich in the books?

    Had to ask, as you mentioned her specifically. Reading Dr. No at the moment, and there's some mention of music there, although not relating to Bond himself.

    Yes, it comes from my taste in music. I love Marlene Dietrich. Just wait till you listen to her rendition of "La Vie En Rose". Absolutely beautiful.

    Only familiar with Dietrich as an actress myself, in Hitchcock's Stage Fright. Can't remember if she sang in that film or not, so it's a possibility I've never heard her music at all!

    Nice - you don't hear deep voices like that often! Don't know about Craig Bond, but book Bond would probably not be a stranger to this! :-)

    I'd imagine book Bond wouldn't be a stranger to the music of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and the rest of the "Rat Pack", for that matter. Same era, and Bond would as familiar with the casino scene as those guys!
