"KILLER JOE"

1969 was a watershed year for music & movies, IMO, & this is a prime example!🤗😃😍😘❤️💙😊

Favorite version.

Mind soothing flashbacks

Hah, we used to play this in my school big band when we were 10-16 years old. To be honest, I thought our teacher had written it specifically for the younger members, because it's so easy to play. Turns out it's a real song by Quincy Jones!

Real cooooooool man 100 % classic

So glad I'm playing this in jazz

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**3 measure rest intensifies**

Killer Joe one of my favorites, QunIcy Jones. OCTOBER 2019

What an ear massage at 0:39 ... I love that part!

Killer Joe 🗡

Use to play this on my horn . Feels good to listen to ..

Fun fact... the melody on the bridge is just a diminished scale.

I have the honor of playing this with my schools jazz combo (I’m a guitarist) and lemme tell you you have no idea how excited I am :)

If only young guns were coming out with cuts like this today.

i was in kindergarten when my Aunt Billie Lou introduced me to Quincy Jones!

Whatever happened to the era of perfection Young School need to take notes this is pure perfection personified thank you Quincy

Love this one by the Great Quincy Jones, excellent chord progression,love the use of the "Funky Flute" in there 😉👍

Say hi on FB to surviving composer Benny Golson. He Friended me today. I doubted that was him in the Great Day in Harlem group photo on 126th st, Harlem. He called me a punk.I deserve it. This is the only writing credit that registered for me. He turned 90 this year, born '29.

Smooth and sexy.

This was Frankie Crocker's opening Song on his show on WBLS

Actually, this sounds like Henry Mancini.

This brings back memories of the early 70's when I was a young teenager although it came out in 1969.

Man what the heck how does anyone create music like this . Peace and love to everyone!

Michael White:...Thank you for turning me on to some of the best jazz around back in the early 70's...R.I.P. my best friend...

that flute line is just the best thing i have ever heard

Killer Joe" PARA MI LO MEJOR GRACIAS POR SUBIRLA.

Joe has so many but not THE one.

Q.J. - One of the greatest composers of all time!

Isaac hayes composed also

I still jam to this album with no interruptions of course it takes me back every time

Classic!!

That so cool

Very cool, and one of Quincy's best. Love it!

Yes tea of a great composer
Great black entermour
AHead of it
O more stupid uneducated
Peeps.
Go find a life
You must

That’s a moment in 69

killer joe was a bad dude

You want to know the definition of cool? Just keep listening!

As a teen in the 1970s, I loved this song and the whole album. Quincy Jones always attracted the best Jazz musicians to his recording sessions.

Imagine subways pacing about a cold and windy city scape.

Perfect for a warm spring morning with clear, sunny skies, an open window, and the sound of the city waking up in the background.

This jazz tune made the top 25 list and Valerie Simpson sung on this classic

so clean so fresh

Cooler than the Pool!

Coolness to the next level.

All Star cast.. Quincy Jones,Hubert Laws,Freddie Hubbard,Eric gale ,Bob James,Grady Tate..and the fantastic Ray Brown..No wonder its so good..

Best Classic Jazz piece ever written!

Love and Music... Hmm I Like That Concept

The tune sounds sort of familiar.

remarkable life ,read his biography

Been looking for this song for over 20yrs. woke up with the thought cool joe looked all over then found killer joe. walla found it.

Cruising down Livernois listening to WJZZ... "The Jazzy One"..

One of the greatest outro fades

About to cry. Head shakes and snaps. Give thanks. Mar-jeau happy birthday.

Immersion

FOR THE PEOPLE WHO THIS A THUMBS DOWN MIGHT JUST NEED AN EAR TRANSPLANT !!!

Que más se puede desear en música,que escuchar aQ.Jones con su Bic Band y arreglos fabulosos.

I bought this as my first cassette and have always loved it. I was gutted when my car went for scrap when it didn,t occur to check if there were any tapes in the centre console

Truly outstanding for sure but for the record Benny Golson wrote "Killer Joe" back in 1954. Also, it is worth the effort to listen to Golson's rendition.

Happy belated birthday Mr Jones......still in 2019 and beyond 3/14

Fantastic , first heard this around 1990 Guy Hornsby show Radio 1

This jam is 50 years old and it is still one of Quincy's best!!

Reminds of my days driving the coast along Half Moon Bay at 100 M.P.H. in a sweet Porsche.

I’m playing this on the trumbone in school

Music that will be remembered and cherished always.Unlike the crappola of today

Best ever Killer rendition----Thanks Q

Who's playing that trumpet

Tarus Prentice

Real MUSIC After A Breakup Peace of mind ahhhhhhhh✋👌

In 1972 my 8th grade graduation, practice the teachers were all doing something and left the students in the auditorium and next thing I knew this song was playing and all the students was dancing all over the auditorium and the teacher is came in...it was hilarious!!!

If I didn't live in the US and I heard this music, I would get on a plane and come here just to find out what those Americans were doing to where they have all this fantastic music. How can we have so much talent here? Never stops.

Anyone from the movie 'The Terminal'? I guess no..

From out of Miles Davis” Birth of the Cool”comes the smooth Q version of this magnificent cut.

My dad loved him some Quincy Jones and jazz in general. He used to play all the greats from Wes Montgomery to Jimmy Smith to Miles Davis. RIP dad, you gave me a great musical foundation.

What a blessing.

Starting my business, doing some research. Ran across Quincy Jones. Now I’m hear listening. Great piece. 🎵

good luck,and many blessing son ur buisness

Freddie Hubbard's solo is great.

As a inner city youth growing up in Harlem. Having the honor of being introduced. As well as seeing alot of the jazz greatest. At there best in the Summer's of the 70's. Continuousl year after year looking forward to what. The "Jazz Mobil" network had in store. Bringing the true essence of jazz through out. The neighborhood's of 5 boro's of "New York City". Keep "jazz" alive. 😎

Espetacular! Isso é que é música boa! Show!

Wreaks of coolness

Written as a tribute to Joe Louis....The Brown Bomber.

Q --always redefining. This was the grooviest.

This is the most memorable experience with this song I decided to dedicate this to my uncle Homer and my mom

I was 12 years old first Jazz song I took to something about it I remember wdas fm in Philly played this loved it still do Kool jazz the station would late in mid seventies play jazz fusion after midnight

We're playing this in jazz band

Peaked at #74 on Billboard in May,1970.

Born the summer of 1969, I heard this entire album at the age of 7...Q's music is timeless and priceless to this day the fall of 2018..Thanks for the introduction to the world of Jazz Cousin Carlos..

Sweet as Joe.

Music like this is why I had to pay 1000 man years in alimoney & child support.

++++++++ <3

Coolest of the COOL.........sounds as good as when i first heard it, Quincy , the master tempo setter, Ray Brown's bass........how can ya not luv this?????

This is music! Today's examples don't compare.

I have started to discover some Jazz and from a pop/rock-perspektive I think these late 60's aand early 70's Quincy Jones records are a good way to start. It's not always jazz in a classical sense but easier for a none-jazz listener to get into. There is a new Quincy Jones documentary on Netflix you might want to watch too!

In every discipline, there are 'those few' who always stand out - their performane lies beyond 'standard' measures; those whose epitaph is rich with superlatives: 'The highest level or degree attainable; the highest stage of development".
"Q" is just such a 'professional' - I became hooked with "killer Joe" (1969).

Cold Blooded, JACK!!!😎

classic, classic, classic

i only just play the seven inch version of stuff like that onnmy turntable tonight.

Fabulous song! My parents, rip, played this song a lot and I fell in love with it as a 7 year old..

I was 8 when my dad used to stay up all night smoking weed and playing this over and over....sunk in my head
as an adult I searched for this song, my dad died, couldn't ask him...gotta love the internet
