Quincy Jones Big Band - Complete 1960 European Concerts (4CD)

All known live recordings by the fabulous Quincy Jones Big Band during its 1960 European tour, across 4CDs, includes a comprehensive 24-page booklet.

By then, the orchestra included such stars as Clark Terry, Benny Bailey, Phil Woods, Sahib Shihab, Quentin Jackson, Jimmy Cleveland, and Les Spann. Recorded with excellent sound quality, this is the first issue to include all these concert performances in a single collection.

I like to look on the orchestra as my personal instrument, the same as the soloist looks on his, and I like to improvise with it. I like to describe my feelings, my moods and my thoughts so that writing becomes the same as improvising a solo for me. - Quincy Jones
