Performer: Quincy Jones
Distributor: E1 Distribution (USA) Notes: This overview of some of the highlights of the legendary producer and arranger Quincy Jones's career spans his film composing work, with the gritty big band theme to the movie WALK ON THE WILD SIDE, his jazz compositions, such as the bluesy "Back At the Chicken Shack," and popular easy-listening pieces such as the subtly infectious "Gravy Waltz."
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.
