• Two albums from 1956/57 on which multi-instrumentalist Don Elliott plays trumpet, mellophone, vibraphone, marimba and bongos.

• On "A Musical Offering" Elliott was searching for the sound of beautiful simplicity and commissioned the young Quincy Jones to write clear-cut modern arrangements

• The astounding kaleidoscopic Gil Evans arrangements for "Jamaica Jazz" were probably not what composer Harold Arlen had in mind when he wrote the Broadway hit Jamaica but they breathe new life into a classic
