Down Beat Magazine October 23, 1975 Vol. 42 No. 17 – Quincy Jones, Bob James Feature

This vintage October 23, 1975 issue of Down Beat Magazine features Quincy Jones in “Q. Lives” by Lee Underwood, a wide-ranging interview in which Jones reflects on his recovery from a near-death health crisis and discusses the music business from both artistic and financial perspectives. Also included is Arnold Jay Smith’s “From ESP to CTI … With Bob James, Crossover King,” profiling the arranger and pianist who became a leading figure in jazz fusion. Leonard Feather contributes “Together Again for the First Time,” an inside look at the Heath Brothers’ long-awaited collaboration. Additional highlights include record reviews of major releases from Jean-Luc Ponty, Roscoe Mitchell, Hubert Laws, Paul Bley, and others, plus a Blindfold Test with Marian McPartland. The issue also features profiles of Chris Brubeck and Guilherme Franco, concert reports on Frank Foster, Oliver Nelson, Dizzy Gillespie, Pat Martino, and Dave Liebman, and practical guides on chart writing and voicing in the Basie tradition.
