There is a bit of mis-information surrounding this album, and Iâ€™ve seen
more than one inaccurate review, so to clear up a few things first, â€œGo
West Manâ€ is not a big band album and the arrangements on here are not by
Quincy Jones. Although there is some good music on here, in some ways, this
second album in Quincy Jonesâ€™ young career is somewhat of a
disappointment. Jonesâ€™ first album was a great success and revealed a
young big band arranger with some fresh new sounds, so I would imagine his new
fans were disappointed to find out that Jones only served as a conductor and
producer, not arranger, on his follow-up LP. There are three different mid-sized
groups that Jones works with on here, including two groups led by saxophone
summits and one group led by a trumpet quartet. All three groups have a piano,
bass and drums rhythm section. Each of the three groups is given three songs
which leads to nine songs total on the album if you are keeping score at home.

All three of these groups are very talented, but possible top honors goes to an
all-star sax five-some that includes Art Pepper and Charlie Mariano. The west
coast sax players are known for their silky smooth ensemble work, and this group
is a good example. The liner notes claim the other sax group is made up of three
tenors, but there is quite clearly a fourth man on baritone, and one of the
supposed tenors sounds suspiciously high. The arrangements for the nine tracks
were provided by Jimmy Giuffre, Lennie Niehaus and Charlie Mariano.
â€œLondon Derriereâ€, with its striking sounds made up of trumpets with
Harmon mutes, is the arrangement that sounds the most like Quincy. This album is
recommended for fans of west coast jazz, there so much great saxophone playing
on here, both in ensemble and in solos, but Quincy Jones fans may be
disappointed by the somewhat misleading presentation and slap together nature of
this album.
