This interesting collector's LP (released in Japan and made available domestically for just a short time) has a variety of rare tracks from the legendary
Quincy Jones big band's Mercury sessions. With such top players as flügelhornist
Clark Terry (featured on "Moanin'"), tenorman
Zoot Sims, altoist
Phil Woods, and guitarist
Kenny Burrell featured, and
Jones' jazz writing in prime form, this is a particularly strong set. In addition to "Moanin'," other highlights include "Daylie Double," "Parisian Thoroughfare," "The Midnight Sun Will Never Set," and "The Preacher." ~ Scott Yanow
