Review by Debs Wombat

Album Review: The Jazz Masters 100 Años De Swing by Quincy Jones Quincy Jones’ The Jazz Masters 100 Años De Swing is a hidden gem from 1996 that feels like flipping through an old photo album of jazz history. Released under Spain’s Folio Collection, this record doesn’t just nod to the genre—it dives headfirst into its soul. With tracks spanning decades of influence and innovation, it’s less of an album and more of a celebration. If you’re into jazz or even just curious about what makes the genre tick, this one deserves your attention. Let’s talk tracks for a sec. First up, “Gravy Waltz.” This tune sticks with me because it's smooth but sneaky—like someone slipping humor into a serious conversation. It grooves effortlessly, blending rich brass tones with playful rhythms. You can almost picture Quincy himself grinning behind the scenes while conducting this masterpiece. Then there’s “Watermelon Man,” which needs no introduction if you know anything about jazz standards. But here, it gets a fresh coat of paint. The bassline is punchy, the piano solo dances around like it owns the place, and the whole thing just oozes swagger. These two tracks alone make the album worth revisiting. Other standouts include “Take Five” (because who doesn’t love Dave Brubeck vibes?) and “Stormy Weather,” where the mood shifts darker, pulling at heartstrings without trying too hard. Even though these songs were recorded years apart, they gel together seamlessly on this compilation. It’s like Quincy took all these pieces of jazz DNA and stitched them into something cohesive yet unpredictable. What strikes me most about 100 Años De Swing is how timeless it feels. Sure, it came out in '96, but the vibe transcends eras. Listening to it today, I’m reminded why jazz will never go out of style—it’s music that breathes, evolves, and speaks directly to whoever’s willing to listen. Here’s the kicker: As much as this album honors tradition, it also feels rebellious in its own quiet way. Maybe that’s why Quincy named it after swing turning 100 years old—it’s not just nostalgia; it’s a wink to the future. So grab a cup of coffee—or maybe something stronger—and let this album wash over you. Just don’t blame me when you find yourself humming “Gravy Waltz” hours later.
