Quincy Jones is an American record producer, conductor, arranger, film score composer, television producer, and trumpeter. He is widely respected and known for his extensive work in various genres of music. From jazz to soul to funk to pop and more, Jones has produced for some of the biggest names in the industry including Michael Jackson, Dinah Washington, Roland Kirk, Sarah Vaughan, Rufus & Chaka Khan, George Benson, the Brothers Johnson, and Donna Summer.

One of his most notable achievements was producing Michael Jackson's iconic album "Off the Wall" in 1979. This album is considered a classic and was followed by two more highly successful albums: "Thriller" (1982) and "Bad" (1987).

Jones is not only a talented musician but also a proud father. He has two actress daughters named Rashida Jones and Kidada Jones with actress Peggy Lipton. Additionally, he has a son named Quincy Jones III with actress Ulla Andersson.

Verve Records, also known as Verve, is a multinational record label that was founded in 1956 by jazz impresario Norman Granz. The label originated from the consolidation of Granz's earlier labels, Norgran Records and Clef Records. In 1960, Verve was sold to MGM Records and became a subsidiary of the company. Throughout the 1960s, Verve expanded its music genres to include comedy, pop, R&B, rock, and folk music.

During this time, Verve had successful jazz recordings from artists such as Stan Getz, Kai Winding, Astrud Gilberto, Ella Fitzgerald, and Jimmy Smith under the direction of Creed Taylor. In 1972, MGM sold its record division to Polydor which brought Verve into the newly formed PolyGram family of record labels. As a result of this transition, Verve focused primarily on jazz reissues while other non-jazz releases were absorbed into Polydor.

In the late 1980s, PolyGram decided to revive Verve with both reissue programs and new artist signings. This revitalization led to strong sales for both new material and remastered classic recordings. With the merger of PolyGram and Vivendi Universal in 1999 creating Universal Music Group (UMG), Verve Records became part of The Verve Music Group alongside other influential labels such as Blue Note Records and Impulse! Records.

The personnel here is fabulous; flugelhornist Clark Terry, altoist Phil Woods, pianist Lalo Schifrin, guitarist Jim Hall, and (on "Soul Bossa Nova") the remarkable Roland Kirk. The title gives a clear indication of what is to be found here, Quincy's gift for rich orchestrations and bossa nova's floating, supple rhythms were the recipe for smooth, smouldering success on this 1962 release.
