Quincy Jones's Song, 'Midnight Sun Will Never Set'
“Midnight Sun Will Never Set”
Quincy Jones was one of the greatest writers and arrangers of the jazz world and his composition by the name of "Midnight Sun Will Never Set" did not fall short of his abilities. In the 1950s, Jones wrote two versions of the song, one in 1958 and the other in 1959. Although only a year apart, it is evident that Quincy made many substantial changes. The changes made weren't drastic to the point where it is unrecognizable, and many similarities including the melody line were left intact. Considering both arrangements were by the same man and were only written 1 year apart from each other they contain similarities and many differences. In the 1958 version of "Midnight Sun will Never Set" Quincy's interpretation
