This is How I Feel About Jazz

Sealed - Brand new 180 gram vinyl.

This Is How I Feel About Jazz is the 1957 debut album by jazz musician Quincy Jones.^[3] It presents Jones as arranger and conductor of three different recording sessions during September 1956, each with a different line-up, from a nonet to a 15-part big band, that featured musicians like Art Farmer, Phil Woods, Lucky Thompson, Hank Jones, Paul Chambers, Milt Jackson, and also – although recorded in New York – West Coast musicians like Art Pepper, Zoot Sims and Herbie Mann. The bonus tracks on the CD release confirm the influence of West Coast jazz with compositions by Jimmy Giuffre, Lennie Niehaus and Charlie Mariano. The album was originally produced by Creed Taylor and released on ABC-Paramount. The digital reissue on CD in 1992 was repackaged as an Impulse! Records release, ABCs sub-label for contemporary jazz established by Taylor four years after these sessions took place (The Impulse version has a similar cover to the original, shown here, but with the addition of the famous impulse! logo.)
