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.
