Description
The achievements of Quincy Delight Jones Jr. as a multi Grammy and Oscar-winning record producer, musician, songwriter, composer, arranger (as well as film and television producer) are the stuff of legend. His incredible career spans 70 years in the entertainment industry and began in the 1950's when the young man from the South Side of Chicago started out as a Jazz trumpeter before soon becoming a popular arranger and successful band leader. This exclusive 10 CD box set presents those legendary beginnings with twenty original albums that showcase Q’s wide range of musical talents. The music ranges from the big band sounds of his own all-star orchestras via arrangements for trumpeter Art Farmer, on to albums he produced, arranged and conducted for singers Peggy Lee and Dinah Washington. After listening to these selections, it becomes obvious why Time magazine named the man later famous for producing the biggest hits of Michael Jackson’s “one of the most influential jazz musicians of the 20th century�.
