Our Take

Quincy Jones, the legend himself, takes us on a swingin' journey back to the 1960s with his Big Band Complete European Concerts. This album is like a time machine that transports you to a time when men wore sharp suits and women danced the night away in elegant ballrooms.

The energy on this album is palpable, with each track leaving you tapping your feet and bobbing your head. Jones' arrangements are tight, precise, and oh so groovy. The brass section shines on tracks like "Moanin'" and "Birth of a Band", while the rhythm section keeps the whole thing rolling along effortlessly.

But it's not just about the music on this album. Jones' banter with the audience between songs is pure comedy gold. His wit and charm shine through, making you feel like you're sitting front row at the concert itself.

If you're a fan of big band jazz, this album is a must-listen. It's a masterclass in swing, with Jones at the helm conducting his band with style and finesse. So dust off your dancing shoes, pour yourself a cocktail, and get ready to be transported back in time with Quincy Jones and his Big Band Complete European Concerts. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
