A musician to his core! Quincy Jones has criss-crossed trends and decades, but he has always stayed centre-stage. From the production of Michael Jackson's 1982 Thriller to the hit Soul Bossa Nova on his 1962 album Big Band Bossa Nova, the 28-time Grammy Award winner can boast of having worked with pretty much everybody. Jazz, soul, film soundtracks and pop records; he’s done it all. In his autobiography he declared that he was a be-bopper at heart and always would be. That affiliation is what is explored in this compilation of recordings, dating back to the period 1951-1959. The compilation foregrounds two memorable facets of Quincy Jones's career: as a leader and arranger for one of the finest big bands in the history of jazz (disc 1); and as an orchestrator for jazz virtuosos like Lionel Hampton, Art Farmer, Anthony Ortega, King Pleasure, Lucky Thompson, Helen Merrill, Clark Terry, Dinah Washington, Jimmy Cleveland, Cannonball Adderley, Sonny Stitt, Dizzy Gillespie, Eddie Barclay, Count Basie, Ray Charles and even Henri Salvador (disc 2)! A fascinating double volume that fizzes and sparks with swing. © Max Dembo / Qobuz
