Description
Two complete original albums by the great Quincy Jones big band, both of which received a five-star rating in Down Beat shortly after they were recorded.
'This Is How I Feel About Jazz' (ABC-Paramount ABC149, recorded in 1956) was Jones first LP as a leader. His previous recordings had been mostly as a trumpeter, arranger and/or conductor for other musicians and orchestras, such as Lionel Hampton, George Wallington and Dizzy Gillespie. The 'Great Wide World of Quincy Jones' (Mercury SR60221) presents the outstanding 1959 Quincy Jones Orchestra.
As a bonus, the label has added a live version of one of the tunes from the latter LP ('Air Mail Special) taped in 1961. Package includes a comprehensive 12-page booklet.
