in cold blood one my faves film and book babeShort video compilation showcasing some of the film scores by Quincy Jones.
"Few musicians have had such a profound effect on the evolution of twentieth-century popular music as legendary record producer, multi-instrumentalist, composer [ ... ] Quincy Jones. After establishing his virtuoso versatility arranging for greats like Frank Sinatra, Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughan, Count Basie, and Duke Ellington, Jones went on to a hugely successful career as a film composer at a time when Hollywood was still largely inhospitable to black artists. Encompassing jazz, blues, pop, funk, lounge, psychedelia, bossa nova, and beyond, his ultracool, sophisticated style graces classics like IN COLD BLOOD, IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT, and THE ITALIAN JOB, as well as offbeat gems like CACTUS FLOWER, MACKENNA'S GOLD, and BOB & CAROL & TED & ALICE."
