Let's welcome back to the stage at the NEA Jazz Master Awards Concert (blog version), the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra, as they perform more of Quincy Jones' music. Here we go:

Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra - Pleasingly Plump

No doubt you'll recognize the next song:

Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra - Soul Bossa Nova

That was Shagadelic. Possibly even Ludacris...or if you're Canadian, a theme to get your game on...

Now back to the show. Next up - the fifth element. Earth, Fire, Air, Water, Quincy Jones...

Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra - Quintessence
