Jones, Quincy - I Dig Dancers

Vinyl LP pressing. Honey Pie Records present a reissue of Quincy Jones & Band's I Dig Dancers, originally released on Mercury in 1961. Deliberately presented as a dance music release, this brilliant Quincy Jones album comprises material from two marvelous big band performances recorded the year before in Paris and New York. Here the great composer and arranger leads a first class "dance organization" - a top-flight big band featuring the cream of NY jazz musicians, among them: Clark Terry and Freddie Hubbard (trumpets); Curtis Fuller and Melba Liston (trombones); Phil Woods, Oliver Nelson and Sahib Shihab (saxes); and Stu Martin (drums). An exquisite platter of highly swinging and danceable grooves signed by the genius of Quincy Jones.
