Q's Jook Joint

Q's Jook Joint (1995) more music like this

by Quincy Jones

The multi-talented Quincy Jones has excelled at idiomatic combinations in his albums since the '60s, when his mix-and-match soundtracks for television and films alerted everyone that he'd switched from a pure jazz mode to a populist trend. Q's Jook Joint blends the latest in hip-hop-flavored productions with sleek urban ballads, vintage standards, ...

The Dude

The Dude (1981) more music like this

by Quincy Jones

Now running his own Qwest label and a thousand other things, Quincy Jones still owed one more album to A&M -- and he gave them a blockbuster, one that reached number ten, yielded three hit pop singles and made a star out of soul balladeer James Ingram. "Ai No Corrida," and the leadoff track, is the Quincy Jones hit method par excellence -- great ...

Ultimate Collection

Ultimate Collection (2002) more music like this

by Quincy Jones

In 1974, Quincy Jones, who already had a wide range of musical credits behind him, opted to enter the R&B mainstream by hiring vocalists and overseeing recordings in a commercial vein released under his name. The first of them was Body Heat, which went gold, and Jones followed with a series of records including 1981's million-selling The Dude and ...

Body Heat

Body Heat (1974) more music like this

by Quincy Jones

At the time, Body Heat was a breathtaking leap for Quincy Jones, right into the very heart of mainstream commercial soul -- and it turned out to be very lucrative, rising to number six on the pop album charts. Jazz per se has been left far behind but the same musical sensibility, the same brilliant production skills, and the same knack for what ...

Miles & Quincy Live at Montreux (1991) more music like this

by Miles Davis/Quincy Jones

Although Miles Davis did not live to participate in Gerry Mulligan's reunion recordings featuring the nonet that played on the famous late-'40s and early-'50s cool sessions, he participated in a reunion concert held at Montreux in 1991. This featured both the Gil Evans Orchestra and George Gruntz Concert Jazz Band, plus additional guests Benny ...

Back on the Block

Back on the Block (1989) more music like this

by Quincy Jones

Having let eight years pass since his last A&M album, Quincy Jones made his debut on his own label with his most extravagant, most star-studded, most brilliantly sequenced pop album to date -- which could have only been assembled by the man who put together "We Are the World." Jones was one of the first establishment musicians to embrace rap, and ...

Walking in Space

Walking in Space (1969) more music like this

by Quincy Jones

The protean Quincy Jones returned to the recording studio as a leader after a long stretch in Hollywood with this triumphantly contemporary big band album. He re-established himself firmly with his big band jazz base while casting a keen eye on the pop scene and the world of electric instruments (even Ray Brown is caught playing superb electric ...

Sounds...And Stuff Like That!!

Sounds...And Stuff Like That!! (1978) more music like this

by Quincy Jones

With ears dead set on the trends of the moment but still drawing now and then on his jazz past, Quincy Jones came up with another classy-sounding pop album loaded with his ever-growing circle of musician friends. Disco was king in 1978 and Jones bows low with the ebullient dance hit "Stuff Like That" -- which is several cuts above the norm for ...

Misty

Misty (2003) more music like this

by Sarah Vaughan

A compilation of two albums recorded in Europe under the direction of Quincy Jones, these sessions catch Sarah Vaughan at her magnificent best. There may be claims of overdoing it or garishness. But her set of pipes and her willingness to use them dramatically, and sometimes coyly, to bring out the best of everything she sings brushes aside such ...

From Q with Love

From Q with Love (1999) more music like this

by Quincy Jones

Grouped together, as they are on the double-disc From Q with Love, producer/arranger/conductor Quincy Jones' love songs sound an awful lot alike, with high-gloss production, silky smooth harmonies, and lead singers who all happen to bear a strong vocal resemblance to Jones' most famous client, Michael Jackson. It helps that From Q with Love is ...

Big Band Bossa Nova

Big Band Bossa Nova (1964) more music like this

by Quincy Jones

A byproduct of the bossa nova fad that followed the success of "Desafinado" (and preceded the famous recording Getz/Gilberto), this set finds Quincy Jones utilizing and exploiting bossa nova rhythms in his arrangements for a big band. The personnel includes flügelhornist Clark Terry, altoist Phil Woods, pianist Lalo Schifrin, guitarist Jim Hall, ...

The name pretty much says it all here. The Best Latin Party Album in the World...Ever features every aspect of Latin party music, from classics like José Feliciano's "Light My Fire" and Milton Nascimento's "Cravo e Canela (Clove and Cinnamon)," to trendy chart-toppers like los Umbrellos' "No Tengo Dinero," Kaoma's "Lambada," and los del Rio's mega ...

Original Jam Sessions 1969

Original Jam Sessions 1969 (2004) more music like this

by Quincy Jones/Bill Cosby

The groove is loose and deep on these studio sessions recorded as backing music for the original Bill Cosby Show sitcom in 1969. Despite the title, Bill Cosby appears on only one track here, the vocal version of "Hikky-Burr," where he improvised his entire part. Quincy Jones directed these sessions with bassist Ray Brown acting as bandleader on ...

We All Love Ennio Morricone

We All Love Ennio Morricone (2007) more music like this

by Ennio Morricone

We All Love Ennio Morricone sounds like a great idea (contemporary performers putting their own spin on the maestro's long, storied and incredibly diverse repertoire) but despite a few noteworthy displays of creativity (Yo-Yo Ma's mournful "Malena" and Roger Waters' stirring "Lost Boys Calling"), the whole affair feels a little too unfocused. Even ...

Quincy Jones' Finest Hour

Quincy Jones' Finest Hour (2000) more music like this

by Quincy Jones

It has been questioned whether Quincy Jones will best be remembered as a producer of pop hits (Thriller) or for his massive jazz output. After an unsuccessful early attempt as a jazz trumpeter, Jones focused on the challenges of his main interest, arranging and conducting. As part of the Finest Hour series from Verve, 15 of Jones arrangements from ...

Cocktail Mix, Vol. 2

Cocktail Mix, Vol. 2 (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

Certainly the best of Rhino's Cocktail Mix series, focusing on the most dance-oriented aspects of space age pop. This 18-song compilation could be said to stretch the boundaries of that recently coined genre a bit. After all, Mose Allison, Cal Tjader, Brother Jack McDuff, and Pucho & the Latin Soul Brothers were not so much cocktail musicians as ...

Smackwater Jack

Smackwater Jack (1971) more music like this

by Quincy Jones

Quincy Jones had jazz fans wondering when he released his killer Gula Matari album in 1970. That set, with gorgeous reading of Paul Simon's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" with a lead vocal by none other than Valerie Simpson, pointed quite solidly into the direction Jones was traveling: unabashedly toward pop, but with his own trademark taste, and ...

Silky Soul Singers (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

Universal Special Products' Silky Soul Singers is a budget-priced, ten-track collection that shines a spotlight on quiet storm and smooth urban soul. Even though there are a number of superstars here, there aren't many big, big hits -- just Smokey Robinson's "Being With You," actually -- but the music is solid and the performances are good, which ...

Love, Q (2004) more music like this

by Quincy Jones

Love, Q features some of producer/composer/arranger/trumpeter and music legend Quincy Jones' best-known love songs. Spanning a nice swath of time from the '70s through the '90s, the collection focuses on Jones' R&B-oriented material. Included here are such stellar tunes as the steamy Leon Ware/Bruce Fisher number "Body Heat," Patti Austin's ...

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Quincy Jones

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Quincy Jones (2001) more music like this

by Quincy Jones

Quincy Jones' edition of Universal's 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection is hardly a comprehensive overview of Jones' career -- that, as they say, would take a box set -- but it does narrow in on the chart hits he had for A&M during the '70s and early '80s. Pretty much all of his pop crossovers of that era -- outside of "'Roots' Medley ...

by Quincy Jones

Quincy Jones' A&M recordings, which roam gradually from the maestro's old big-band base to smoothly polished assaults on the pop charts, are given a cursory glance here. Special attention is paid to 1974's Body Heat, -- the big initial plunge into mainstream soul -- and the later hit albums Sounds...And Stuff like That and The Dude, at the expense ...

by Quincy Jones

The Talkin' Verve series was a huge set of recordings by individuals who had recorded for the label and were responsible for the funky, jazzy lounge music that was so revered again in the '90s, as well as the pioneers of the soul-jazz movement of the '60s. This volume, with Quincy Jones leading a big band, has all the elements of cool, ...
