Negative Positive
Title: Heavy and Cumbersome
Review: This 1963 entry from Jones during his big band days was a major disappointment for me. The treatments of 'One Note Samba' and 'Taste of Honey' are lead balloons. What really mystifies is why the very great LP, 'Quincy plays Mancini' from the same year, was not reissued instead of this disaster. On that record, Quincy does poignant arrangements of "Dreamsville" and "Mr Lucky", plus the haunting "Soldier in the Rain", that have been unavailable for over 30 years. Get with it Mercury and reissue the Right Stuff!!!
