    True that!

    I heard a Duke Ellington record arranged by Quincy Jones. He had the horn
    section blazing ... which seems to carry through a lot of his
    productions. Does anybody know what album that is? I just finished
    listening to George Benson "Give Me the Night," another Jones
    production. How many times have you heard Quincy Jones do James Moody's
    Mood for Love?

    Thanks,

    kd
