Quincy is a true American Master. To have been a fly on the wall and watch Q create would have been like watching Beethoven write his 9th symphony.
Saxophone - Harold McNair, Jerome Richardson, Phil Woods, Porter Kilbert, Sahib Shihab
Trombone - Jimmy Cleveland, Melba Liston, Quentin Jackson, Åke Persson
Trumpet - Benny Bailey, Clyde Raesinger, Floyd Standifer, Roger Guérin
There are four saxes.
Phil Woods,King Of The Alto.Once seen and heard,never forgotten.
Quincy Jones said in his days of arrangement student ..his professor Ms Nadia Boulanger gave him a scoring homework of a song in the 12 keys..,this the system that Berklee Music college use since long ago
Thanx for posting this gem. That's Melba on trombone upper left second from the end.
Q, better than all the best. Master genius.
oh man...i remember clifford...pure magic
What an absolute treat to see and hear these musicians when they were young, and in this great band! Phil Woods, Benny Bailey, Jimmy Cleveland, Sahib Shihab, the especially the very special Melba Liston. Swiss TV provides decent video direction and good sound on the solos, goes off the rails with the full ensemble. Worth it for those musicians and their solos. Younger viewers may not know that this tour, while a musical success was a financial disaster, with the band eventually getting stranded in Europe.
I believe it was none other than Frank Sinatra who bailed them out and flew everyone home.
Man I would really like to know the names of the musicians. Either way thanx for posting
budd johnson, tenor. The great Budd!!!
24:00 is an incredible sound omg
Julius Watkins on French horn? Brilliant and FUNNY!
Thanks for sharing this great performance !
Damn that band is tight
I miss strings qJ is a master
Tremendos musicos Quincy Jones un grandioso músico referentes absolutos en la historia del Jazz!!
Great band with great tunes and arrangements, but my criticism of pianists back then was and remains that they were intimidated by the horn sections, who always had to play pianissimo when piano took a solo. It never occurred to any big band pianist to play loud, hard and with all ten fingers to put the horns in their places.
It’s not in pianos dynamic range to do without modern amplification
Guess I should have watched to the end first
A lot of people don't know this about Q ,that he had one swinging band back in the day
Quincy Jones grandioso musico, extraordinario arreglador, un referente absoluto, esta es una de sus históricas orquestas integrada por historicos músicos!!
Desde Buenos Aires Argentina Alfredo Remus.
Quentin Jackson?
Melba Liston?
Yep
Un grandioso e inconmensurable músico!
In the trumpet section, frenchman Roger Guérin made a replacement
This was a bad ass band! Supposedly Q got so caught up in the music, that the business got sloppy. They rode with him to the end, but eventually it had to come to an end.
Yup. That changed his life, when they got stuck in Paris. Q was broke and couldn't even pay them money to get back home to the U.S.. Somehow he worked it out, but he changed his life after that. He was VERY money-conscious for the remainder of his life. He got an office job at Mercury Records as a staff producer, in-house A&R, producer on salary of whatever they threw at him. Things got much better once he got into scoring for film and tv. That scoring work put him on easy street for the remaining days of his life. Long before any of the soul jazz albums, and way before the Wiz he was straight $$.
Can anyone name the personnel? Phil Woods and Bennie Bailey, and then Jerome Richardson?
Jimmy Cleveland Trb solo on Walkin
Patti Brown on piano
Buddy Catlett on bass
Oliver Nelson, Freddie Hubbard, and Clark Terry did a stint with this band too.

quincy's band tourte im frühling 1961 durch die schweiz (zurich, st.gallen, baden u.a.) .stammt diese aufnahme aus lausanne oder genf?
The Band went Broke and from then on Quincy Jones went into A&R. Some of the Band Members stayed for longer in Europe others had Studio Jobs to do in the USA. But somehow they all managed to survive the financial Desaster.
Everybody is wonderful here but Woods blew my ears...Atta player!!!!
Harold McNair is not yet in the band after Budd Johnson left; only four saxes!
