Music reviews of Quincy Jones' Finest Hour
Music Review: Good Overall Collection & as a Must-Have (4.5 stars)
Rating: 4 Stars
This Compilation is full of Quincy's Greatest Moments and Memories behind his Music and between the Future. This Man is Bad! I'm truly lovin' enuff of "Soul Bossa Nova" (which was used by the Austin Powers movie sequels and plus on Luda's "Number 1 Spot", the video and song is overally fantastic, nice work tho)
"Killer Joe", "Moanin'", "Blues in the Night" are Killers here on this CD. You can't go wrong. We wish Q will come out with another hot album that is hot and real bangin, wishing for more special appearance off the new album as well plus a reunion with MJ, Patti Austin and yes James Ingram, who he signed on his Qwest Records label back in the day, and yes & mos' definitely his longtime songwriter-producer-arranger-composer Rod Temperton. To me him and Rod stand along as my Main Songwriters and Producers of All-Time and plus my Top People to add to my Music List.
Also included is his 70s work i.e. "Stuff Like That" and from THE DUDE album, the instrumental sensational and nitework piece "Velas" feat. Toots Thilemans.
Description of Quincy Jones' Finest Hour
Before his tremendous success in pop and R&B, Quincy Jones was a multi-faceted powerhouse in jazz--as bandleader, arranger, composer, and producer. This CD draws on his work from the late 1950s and 1960s, beginning with his star-studded big band. Jones was already a master of creating different textures with the horn sections, and he could make a band swing like Count Basie's. The band had great soloists, such as alto saxophonist Phil Woods and trumpeter Clark Terry, and it was also a forum for soul jazz and hard bop, putting tunes like Bobby Timmons's "Moanin'" and Benny Golson's "Killer Joe" into a big-band context. Jones's way with strings is evident on Sarah Vaughan's classic recording of "The Midnight Sun Will Never Set," while "The Pawnbroker" was the first of his many successful film soundtracks. As he entered the pop field in the 1960s, he may have forever caught something of the mood of the times with the slyly perky "Soul Bossa Nova," better known now as the "Austin Powers Theme." --Adam RainsGeneral CDs
