This second volume of his best work gathers highlights from across his A\u0026amp;M years, drawing together material shaped by some of the era's most respected producers. The compilation was coordinated by Barry Korkin and licensed from A\u0026amp;M, and this particular pressing carries a notable quirk prized by collectors: a different track in the opening A1 slot, a small variation that sets it apart from standard copies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat gives the record its depth is the caliber of hands behind it. Jones himself arranges, conducts, and produces across most of the program, bringing his signature sense of space and polish. Elsewhere you hear the fingerprints of Creed Taylor, Phil Ramone, and bassist-producer Ray Brown, whose involvement nods to the jazz pedigree running through these sessions. Mastered by Arnie Acosta at A\u0026amp;M Mastering in California, the sound is clean, warm, and balanced — the kind of transfer that lets arrangements breathe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpun start to finish, it plays like a guided tour through Quincy's craft, each piece benefiting from world-class production and careful curation. For the jazz collector, it's an accessible yet rewarding entry — a well-mastered A\u0026amp;M pressing with a genuine pressing variant that makes this copy worth seeking out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePressing Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack Listing:\u003cbr\u003eA1.
