Stone funky work from the late 60´s, a landmark batch of tracks by Quincy Jones, originally recorded for the soundtrack of the first Bill Cosby show, and issued here to the public for the first time ever!! The show's famous theme "Hikky-Burr" is a well-known groover with a sinister snapping edge that sums up all the best of Quincy's funky Jazz soundtrack work in the 60´s, and the rest of the tracks on the set follow in a blend of California Soul Jazz modes that's mighty nice!! Players on the tunes include Milt Jackson, Monty Alexander, Joe Sample, Eddie Harris, Ray Brown, and Paul Humphrey, and the tracks have a loose, improvised feel that's a nice contrast from a lot of Quincy's tighter soundtrack work!!Tracklisting:
