QUINCY JONES ORCHESTRA
The Midnight Sun Will Never Set
We are all familiar with the Count Basie rendering of this song featuring Marshal Royal, just beautiful. But like several other tunes on Basie’s 1958 recording One More Time of Quincy Jones arrangements and compositions, Q had originally written this for his own band a few years earlier. Jones recorded it a year after Basie, and featured Phil Woods. The entire tune changes with Wood’s BeBop interpretation. As one might think, it is fantastic.
