The Great Wide World of Quincy Jones catches a 26-year-old arranger stepping out as a bandleader, fronting a powerhouse New York big band in 1959, and the results still swing hard.
Recorded over two sessions at Fine Recording in New York, the album shows Jones already thinking like the producer he would become, steering a stellar roster through charts by Ernie Wilkins, Al Cohn, Bill Potts and Ralph Burns. The line-up is jaw-dropping, with Art Farmer and Lee Morgan among the trumpets, Phil Woods on alto, Julius Watkins on French horn and Patti Bown at the piano.
Lester Leaps In kicks things off with swinging muscle, and Ernie Wilkins' Ghana adds a bright flavour that suits the album's world-spanning title. Caravan and Air Mail Special are fast, punchy showcases for the soloists, while Chant of the Weed gives Don Redman's moody 1930s classic fresh colours and a modern edge.
Every chart leaves room for the players to shine without losing the precision of the ensemble, which is exactly the balance great big band writing demands.
Polished but full of fire, it is a vivid snapshot of bop-rooted big band jazz at the close of the 1950s, and an early sign of the musical empire Jones would go on to build.
