Amazon.com The first Bill Cosby Show ran from 1969 to 1971, and Quincy Jones was its musical director. With the discovery of the show's lost tracks, a new generation can indulge in these sizzling and soulful moods and grooves. With electric and acoustic pianists Monty Alexander, Joe Sample, and Les McCann, guitarist Arthur Adams, and bassist Ray Brown highlighting the rhythm section, these sides are an excellent sonic snapshot of the soul-jazz sounds of the era. The velvet vibes of Milt Jackson sanctify the gospel-tinged "Oh Happy Day," and the incredible Jimmy Smith pulls off a Hammond B-3 solo tour de force on "Jimmy Cookin' on Top (interlude)." There are also three versions of the Jones/Cosby penned "Hikky Burr," one featuring saxophonist Eddie Harris, one with Cosby's hilarious vocals, and one a funky remix courtesy of Mix Master Mike.--Eugene Holley, Jr. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsThe Original Jam Sessions 1969 Auburn Niewiadomski | Anacortes, Washington | 07/01/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "I honestly just bought this CD to hear "Hikky Burr", I originally heard "Hikky Burr" on the Best of Bill Cosby CD and I just loved it. So I was excited when I found out it was made for the Bill Cosby Show and there was a CD of the original recordings. Quincy Jones sure does make great funky music, and it's just a nice thing to listen to. The reason I love the song "Hikky Burr" so much is because it's just pure silliness, Bill Cosby can say anything and it'll be great. If you haven't heard it yet, you gotta buy this CD as soon as possible. Now that's not the only good track, there are some great groovy beats which I'll feature below. Hikky Burr (Kincaid Kinfolk) (5:56) Groovy Gravy (8:10) Oh Happy Day (4:18) Jimmy Cookin' on Top (Interlude) (1:42) Toe Jam (7:49) Jive Den (3:13) Eubie Walkin' (7:00) Monty, Is That You (6:42) The Drawing Room (Interlude) (0:59) Hikky Burr; Featuring Bill Cosby (3:35) Hikky Burr (Mix Master Mike Remix) (3:01) There are eleven tracks in all, I especially love the Hikky Burr remix; it's almost as good as the original version in my opinion. Another nice addition to this CD is in the pamphlet, there is a nice note written by Arthur Adams who played guitar with the group. You can tell he just loved working with Bill and Quincy, and you call tell that by how good their music is. So like I said, if you haven't picked up this CD already, get it as soon as possible, you won't regret it. " Fantastic stuff.... D. Pawl | Seattle | 03/31/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "The musical combination of Bill Cosby & Quincy Jones is truly a match made in heaven. The tracks featured on this CD are a combination of incidental music from Cosby's earliest COSBY SHOW (that aired from 1969 until the early 1970s) as well as one liners from "The Coz" (Bill Cosby) himself. Bill Cosby is truly a skilled jazz vocalist and skat impov extraordinaire. That is made evident in "Hikky Burr," the song that opens and closes the album. This was the title song for the TV show. Not only is he hilarious to listen to, but he keeps great time with the funkified music, that is a hallmark of Quincy Jones' style. There are three versions of the tune (the original and the alternative versions--one which is a killer remix). The rest of the album is equally strong and you'll find yourself tapping your toes. I just hope that they release the show for which the music was featured. I am sure it was hilarious............."
