5/5 Must -Own For Modern Big Band Fans
  by Rob Keil (San Francisco)
This is apparently the only known footage of Quincy Jones' legendary big band of 1960. The music is stellar, absolutely top-notch stuff. Innovative and beautiful arrangements, great solos. If you love big band music, get this. Anybody who doubts that this band was as good as (or better) than Basie's band of the time needs to see this. You will rarely if ever find a better band with better material than this one. I only wish more people knew Quincy Jones for his genius as an arranger and bandleader.

The quality of the recording itself is quite good. The first half looks like a filmed studio date with no audience, shot with 3 cameras on (maybe) 16mm black and white film. The picture quality I give an A, sound quality a B. The second half is a live concert situation, probably also shot with 3 cameras, 16mm black and white film. The picture quality of this second half gets a B and the sound quality an A.

It is really rare to see a band of this quality presented so well on DVD. A real treasure.

What a great band Quincy put together. Of all the bands of that era that was one of the best.

4/5 Quality of DVD

Two of the three videos are of excellent quality, but one looks to be a kinescope copy, and the video is blurry and very contrasty. In all three, the audio quality is good, however.
