Our Take

Quincy Jones & His Orchestra bring us a fantastic time capsule with their latest release, "Early Years: Six Complete Albums 1957-61." This collection takes us back to a golden era of jazz, where swing was king and big bands ruled the stage.

With Quincy Jones at the helm, you know you're in for a musical treat. His arrangements are as tight as a pair of skinny jeans, and his orchestrations are smoother than a fresh jar of Skippy. From the rousing horns of "This Is How I Feel About Jazz" to the dreamy strings of "The Birth of a Band," each track is a delightful journey through the soundscapes of yesteryear.

But it's not just about nostalgia with this album. Jones and his orchestra bring a fresh and modern twist to these classic tunes, injecting new life into old favourites. Whether you're a seasoned jazz aficionado or a newbie looking to dip your toes into the genre, there's something here for everyone.

So grab a glass of whiskey, put on your best fedora, and let Quincy Jones & His Orchestra take you on a musical ride through the swinging sixties. This album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates good music and good vibes. So go ahead, press play, and let the magic of Quincy Jones work its charm on you.
