In all of the tributes to Quincy Jones that took place after his passing, relatively little time was spent remembering his greatest group, the big band that he took to Europe in 1960.
The all-star outfit’s every recording and film clip are well worth savoring.
“The Midnight Sun Will Never Set” was one of Quincy Jones’ finest originals and this version featuring the masterful altoist Phil Woods (his tone is heard at its most luscious) ranks with the best.
