John Leach played the cymbalom, but what about the moody flute?
What about the jazz group and the long blues version with solos on flute, sax, vibes, and trumpet? And the rhythm section? And the bongos?
And on the fight cue Barry uses a soprano sax--rarely used in film music at the time, even rarely in jazz--except for Coltrane and Steve Lacy. Yes, the soprano sax was prominent in New Orleans music before this, and would again be popular in a few years later, popularized by Wayne Shorter, Joe Farrell, Jerome Richardson, and others. But in 1965, not so much.

Check out the sax on KKBB from THUNDERBALL
|

KKBB from Thunderball is John Scott on alto; as good as that is, I really like his brief solo on the "Thunderball" instrumental, which is very cool and seductive. He may also have played on Ipcress, but I don't know for sure.

Thanks, Geoff. Scott was prominent on that score--that flute!

Geoff has written 3 books on John Barry. What about the baritone sax solo on The Whisperers? I'm thinking not Scott.

Leon Calvert (trumpet), Vic Flick (guitar), John Scott (Alto sax, flute and alto flute), Tristan Fry (percussion & timpani), John Leach (cimbalom). Ronnie Price was most likely on keyboards but this has never been confirmed.
There is nothing Geoff doesn't know about John Barry. You should write a book...oh yes you already have, I have 2 copies of it, I call it my Barry bible. Thanks Geoff, Pete and Gareth. 
Two copies?!
Want to trade one?

Hey Geoff, I got Hit and Miss! I keep an eye on those British music mags--Mojo and so on--and they've always been keen to give Barry some space when something new is released, but I haven't seen a review of the book yet. Have you approached them about it?
