Quincy Jones Artist Snapshot:

Quincy Jones has been one of the most influential and respected figures in music since the 1950s. His gifts as an arranger and producer have brought him a great deal of success including multi-platinum albums by Michael Jackson, his own high-profile label (Qwest), and magazine (Vibe). His endeavors into straight jazz recording are relatively few, but they bore some great fruit in the late '50s and early '60s.

Before his breakthrough into the pop mainstream (and success as a composer of film soundtracks), Quincy Jones had a reputation as an ace jazz composer and arranger. THE QUINTESSENCE, recorded in 1961, is one of Jones's finest undiluted jazz outings. The album is a tasty mixture of Jones originals and standards by Thelonious Monk and Benny Golson. Jones's dapper, economical, and swinging arrangements feature superb soloists, including Phil Woods (merely one of the finest alto saxophonists in jazz history), Clark Terry, and Freddie Hubbard.
