Our Take

Quincy Jones, the man, the myth, the legend. From producing hits for Michael Jackson to arranging big band classics, this guy has done it all. And now, lucky for us, we get a taste of the early days with The Classic Albums 1957-1963. Opening with Jones' 1957 debut album, this collection kicks off with a bang. From the swinging brass of "This Is How I Feel About Jazz" to the smooth vocals on "Birth of a Band," it's clear that even back then, Jones had that magic touch. Moving through his discography, we hear Jones experimenting with different sounds and styles, from the Latin rhythms of "Quincy Jones Explores the Music of Henry Mancini" to the funky vibes of "The Quintessence." Each album shows a different side of Jones' genius, proving that he truly is a master of his craft. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows. There are a few missteps along the way, like the forgettable "The Great Wide World of Quincy Jones." But hey, nobody's perfect, right? Overall, The Classic Albums 1957-1963 is a must-listen for any fan of Quincy Jones or jazz music in general. So grab a cocktail, sit back, and let the smooth sounds of Quincy Jones transport you back to a time when jazz was king. Cheers!
