Plug-in, kick-back, and fall back into Autumn with this new release from the composer of “Mad Men”.
It includes the single “Bossa Sixteen” an upbeat Nu Bossa that’s plugged-in with electronics that’s driving the production. The album is built around a traditional a jazz sextet, but with plenty contemporary digital effects running throughout the album. Inspired by my love for great trumpet players, especially of the 60s and 70s such as Freddie Hubbard, Blue Mitchell, and Miles, “Back to One” features trumpeter Kye Palmer along with saxophonist Brian Scanlon.

The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe (Original Soundtrack Recording)
Click for Streaming
So there’s much talk of the latest Marilyn Monroe film hitting theaters this fall, “Blonde”, starring Ana de Armas, Adrien Brody and Bobby Cannavale. Which brought me to revisit my 2015 score to “The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe”, also based on a best-selling book, and is just about the same running time, 2:58 compared with the new film at 2:47. Although the earlier aired in two installments, it is still streaming, as is my score, which you can check out here!
Kelli Garner at Capitol
I primarily recorded my soundtrack at Conway Recording Studios in Hollywood, CA on April 28th, and May 6th. However, the main title track, “I Want To Be Loved By You” performed by the fabulous Kelli Garner was recorded with the band at Capitol Recording Studios, Hollywood, CA on May 4th, 2015.
Score:
Orchestrations by Geoff Stradling

Recorded and mixed by James T. Hill
Series:
The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe is a 2015 American drama miniseries based on The New York Times bestseller of the same name by J. Randy Taraborrelli. It first aired on Lifetime on May 30 and 31, 2015, and received mixed reviews. Brian Lowry of Variety writes, “What sets this latest rehash of the star’s existence apart, marginally, is a knockout performance by Kelli Garner and, to a lesser degree, Susan Sarandon’s turn as her mentally disturbed mother.” And Jordan Appugliesi of US Weekly seems surprised when he states, “Surprise! It’s Actually Good.” And Kelli’s “Marilyn” charmed most reviewers.
