Probably the most influential musician of the last 75 years. “Jack of all trades, master of all of them” for sure. Quincy Jones’ influence became more apparent once he became Michael Jackson’s producer of choice. However, his talent was widely known well before then. This track, from his album ‘The Great Wide World Of Quincy Jones’ from 1959, is a subtle big band extravaganza which feels very familiar, glamorous and evocative all at once. Something from the rat pack era that you feel you’ve heard before, but only because it’s probably been copied so many times.
