The range of compositions that shine on the album "Pure Desmond Plays James Bond Songs" in brilliant cool jazz quality ranges from the current "No Time To Die" by the American shooting starBillie Eilish to the original music of the 1960s. In the quartet's version, "From Russia With Love" becomes an airy samba with a pinch of subtle humour as the saxophonist of the Dave Brubeck Quartet might have interpreted it himself. "Tomorrow Never Dies" turns into a jazz ballad.

The four musicians of Pure Desmond manage the balancing act between these many different musical worlds and combine them into something new through their instrumental arrangements in modern cool jazz sound. With their interpretations, they take the listener on a journey through the world of James Bond- full of nasty villains, fast-paced chases, luxurious journeys and romantic flirts.
