Quincy Jones And His Orchestra - Around The World (1961/2016) HDtracks

This themed album from Quincy Jones and his orchestra contains songs from around the world, as the title suggests. Around the World was aimed at fans who like their quality big band music easy on the ear, for though there is some nice soloing by Clark Terry, Phil Woods, Sahib Shihab and Benny Bailey, these are primarily lushly voiced atmospheric arrangements delivered by a brilliant, airy and swinging band. Released in 1961, the LP includes several original numbers and a handful of standards.
