Jazz Icons: Quincy Jones- Live In '60

The Jazz Icons: Quincy Jones DVD, released Sept. 26, 2006, spotlights a young "Q" conducting his "dream band"—an 18-piece orchestra of world-renowned players such as Clark Terry, Phil Woods, Sahib Shihab, Budd Johnson and Benny Bailey. This 80-minute program, featuring 17 songs, is one of the finest examples of big band jazz ever to be captured on film. Shot in Switzerland and Belgium in 1960, these two concerts are the only known visual documents of this legendary tour—an important lost chapter in an illustrious career which has spanned six decades.

Was that Melba Liston in the trombone section? A pioneer in breaking into the "boy's room" in the brass section.

Smooth, tough and swing'in.....Q really captured the moment in 1960.......His music is timeless. The jazz world is a much better place because of him and his talent. His arrangements for Sinatra made Sinatra a much better singer. Ol blue eye's never sounded better than when he sang w/Q.Read Q's autobiography--its fascinating!

i know you posted this a year ago, but i remember this album, birth of a band. my dad was in the service, and brought it home when he was on leave. the bandmembers were depicted as hatching out of eggs. very creative. great songs. one i really liked was goodbye baby here i go (not sure if real title, since i was just a little girl at the time).

many thanks to jazzicons.

A Who's Who of musicians here. Notice Phil Woods playing alto sax in the middle of the sax's.
