A treasure chest of six songs that condenses the intelligence and passion of modern jazz
A supreme jazz album featuring sophisticated trumpet playing and music and arrangements by Quincy Jones.
Each track exudes a different charm, from the dynamic swing of Leonard Feather's "Jumpin' For Jane" to the lyrical melody of Thad Jones's "Bird Song." The title track, "Mad Thad," written by Quincy Jones, shines with its aggressive arrangement, while "Whisper Not," written by Benny Golson and arranged by Quincy Jones, impresses with its delicate sonic balance. This is a masterpiece that condenses the essence of jazz from the hard bop era.
