Quincy Jones Explores the Music of Henry Mancini

As you'd expect from Quincy'¨s powerhouse band of the day, the ensemble and soloists are spectacular. However, I've only rated it three stars because of the CD's meager total time of about 38 minutes. That isn't Jones' fault of course, but Verve's. LPs could only contain up to 25 minutes per side, so when a 50's LP like this is finally released on CD, record companies should combine them with like short LPs on one CD which can hold 80 minutes of music.

    1. Baby Elephant Walk
    2. Charade

The Original Jam Sessions 1969

This is such a great CD to put on if you're going to clean the house or wash the car in the driveway... perfectly safe to turn up loud as it has an extremely high (near 100%) approval rating and joy factor

if you can't enjoy this recording session... you're broken inside..
(in other words: seek help)

what it is:
a series of medium speed slightly funky grooves (with a few ballads) that never fail to entertain. This is a kind of "zero dissonance" playful jazz that lifts the soul and brightens the mood.

Titles:
    1. Hikky-Burr (Kincaid Kinfolk)
    2. Groovy Gravy
    3. Oh Happy Day
    4. Jimmy Cookin' On Top (Interlude)
