A valuable record that lets you enjoy the true joy of jazz orchestral formation.
A perfect match of musical ambition and execution.
This important record of the late 1950s jazz scene captures the fruits of a young Quincy's ambitious big band project. It fully demonstrates his talent as a pure jazz artist, a career that preceded his later international success as a pop producer. The rich acoustics of the orchestral arrangement and the musical dynamism created by the precise arrangements are stunning, and this ambitious work greatly expanded the possibilities of the jazz orchestra.
