For the first time, the great film scores of Quincy Jones are brought together here, remastered in their complete versions. It took a long and painstaking search to find and restore the master tapes concerned, to reassemble the puzzle of a fragment of life entirely devoted to writing for the screen. “I wanted to write film music from the age of fourteen,” Quincy says. That dream came true eighteen years later, in 1965, with Sidney Lumet’s The Pawnbroker. Quincy Jones’s cinema spans seven years of great intensity, an enchanted interlude (1965-1972) extended by The Wiz, the film of his meeting with Michael Jackson, and above all Steven Spielberg’s The Color Purple. The film stage was to be decisive in the recognition of his talent: until then haloed by a reputation as a virtuoso arranger, it was Hollywood that established and confirmed Quincy Jones as a composer. For Quincy Jones, writing for the cinema also means synthesizing his different cultures: be bop, soul, rhythm and blues, dodecaphony, bossa. Objectively, Quincy Jones’s cinematic territory is far broader than one might initially imagine. In its own way, this luxuriant anthology seeks to map it out. On the occasion of his June 27, 2019 concert in Paris (AccorHotels Arena), rediscover his greatest film scores remastered in the best-selling box set The Cinema of Quincy Jones at a reduced price.
