Q's Jook Joint

Q's Jook Joint (1994) 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, ...

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, ...

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 ...

The Dude

The Dude (1980) 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 ...

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 (1958) more music like this

by Sarah Vaughan & Quincy Jones

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 ...

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 ...

The Quintessence

The Quintessence (1961) more music like this

by Quincy Jones & His Orchestra

The Quintessence is perhaps the most accurate title ever given to a Quincy Jones & His Orchestra recording. Issued in 1961 for Impulse!, this is the sound of the modern, progressive big band at its pinnacle. Recorded in three sessions, the core of the band consists of Melba Liston, Phil Woods, Julius Watkins, and bassist Milt Hinton and pianist ...

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 ...

Miles & Quincy Live at Montreux

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 ...

Smackwater Jack (1971) more music like this

by Quincy Jones

This is where a lot of serious jazz purists get off the train but for the rest of us, this is an exciting journey into Quincy Jones territory where labels are meaningless. Though Q takes us deep into Hollywood and TV with his themes to Ironside, The Anderson Tapes and the first Bill Cosby Show (with humorous vocals from the Cos' himself), his jazz ...

Roots (1977) more music like this

by Quincy Jones

Quincy Jones has been threatening to write a long tone poem sketching the history of black music for decades now, and he has yet to do it. This project, rushed out in the wake of the 1977 TV mini-series Roots, is about as close as he has come. A brief (28 minutes), immaculately-produced and segued suite, Roots quickly traces a timeline from Africa ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Love Songs: Gold (2006) more music like this

by Various Artists

A two-disc grab-bag compilation spanning several decades and genres, Hip-O's Love Songs: Gold fares well for a release that's so broad and seemingly random. It's certain that no one could possibly have a strong stomach for all 40 of the selections (let alone any given 30), and there are some very polarizing hits here, where fans and haters feel ...

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 ...

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 ...

Collectables' Jukebox Hits of the '80s is an attractive package for consumers who want the biggest hits of the era. All 70 songs spread out over these five discs are recognizable. Unlike other similar sets, these songs are not re-recordings; these are the original hit versions. More than likely the casual listener will only need one track from ...

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

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 ...
