Quincy Jones • Golden Boy

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
This Quincy Jones big-band LP finds him exploring a wide variety of material in hopes of finding a hit. Among the selections are "Django," the Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night," "The Sidewinder," a remake of "The Midnight Sun Will Never Set" and three versions of the "Theme From Golden Boy." There are some spots for trumpeters Freddie Hubbard and Joe Newman, altoist Phil Woods, guitarist Jim Hall, and the tough tenor of Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, but the brevity of the selections (all but "Django" are between two and four minutes) and the conservative nature of many of the charts keep the music from taking any real chances.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
En este LP para big band Quincy Jones explora una amplia variedad de material con la esperanza de encontrar un éxito. Entre las selecciones están "Django", "A Hard Day's Night" de los Beatles, "The Sidewinder", una nueva versión de "The Midnight Sun Will Never Set" y tres versiones del "Theme From Golden Boy". Hay algunos momentos para los trompetistas Freddie Hubbard y Joe Newman, el contralto Phil Woods, el guitarrista Jim Hall y el tenor de Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, pero la brevedad de las selecciones (todas menos "Django" duran entre dos y cuatro minutos) y la naturaleza conservadora de muchas de las listas impiden que la música se arriesgue.
