Originally
a hard bop instrumental
by sax great Benny
Golson, Quincy Jones
brought his genius to the
song when he penned
lyrics to this melody.
Killer Joe exploded onto
the scene in Quincy's
album Q's Jook Joint and
was later covered by
countless vocal jazz
icons including The
Manhattan Transfer. Here
it is set in a gentle
swing style with vocal
lines accessible to even
beginning vocal jazz
ensembles.
