Quincy Jones ORIG US Promo LP I dig dancers EX ’61 DG Mercury SR60612 Jazz

Quincy Jones & Band

I dig dancers

Original US Promo LP released in 1961 on the Deep Groove Mercury Records Label. cat: SR60612.  

The concept of I Dig Dancers! is somewhat retrospective, recalling a time when the great jazz orchestras of yore, like Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman and others, made jazz you could dance to. Hard to believe there was a time when jazz was considered dance music. But bebop probably did much to change that sort of jazz and also probably the general popularity the music once enjoyed. Certainly, an album like I Dig Dancers! would have been considered old fashioned when people like John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman and Sonny Rollins were redefining jazz all over again. But the remarkable joy of the compositions and the audibly genuine love the musicians have for the music shines through in waves of gloriously swinging sound. Features Benny Bailey and Clark Terry on trumpets, Jimmy Cleveland, Åke Persson, Melba Liston, Quentin Jackson on trombones, Phil Woods, Jerome Richardson, Budd Johnson and Sahib Shihab on saxes, Patti Bown on piano and Les Spann on guitar and flute.

Tracks: Pleasingly plump/ G’wan train/ Moonglow/ Tone poem/ You turned the tables on me/ Chinese checkers/ Love is here to stay/ The midnight sun will never set/ Trouble on my mind/ A Sunday kind of love.
