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.

All known live recordings by the fabulous Quincy Jones Big Band during its 1960 European tour, across 4CDs, includes a comprehensive 24-page booklet.

By then, the orchestra included such stars as Clark Terry, Benny Bailey, Phil Woods, Sahib Shihab, Quentin Jackson, Jimmy Cleveland, and Les Spann. Recorded with excellent sound quality, this is the first issue to include all these concert performances in a single collection.

"I like to look on the orchestra as my personal instrument, the same as the soloist looks on his, and I like to improvise with it. I like to describe my feelings, my moods and my thoughts so that writing becomes the same as improvising a solo for me." - Quincy Jones
