5.0 out of 5 stars The Dude Throws Down, November 22, 2001
By 
"buick7" (Boston MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Musical Biography of Quincy Jones (Audio CD)
This is the title of the 4th in the 4 CD in the boxed set - a chronicle of music from 1953 onwards. His talent is intensely felt from track 1, CD 1......and doesn't let up! At 23 Q was recognised by Gillespie as talented .. and on this set you hear the best. I spent my Thanksgiving day cooking & listening and you can be sure of giving a life long wonderful gift - to yourself or anyone from 14 to 94. The only question you will have about this set is how did you miss this concentrated genius spreading his energy. Jazz, hip hop and musical scores and so much more- Heat of the Night to Austin Powers- Bossa Nova TV shows- Ironside; Frank Sinatra, Bono, Michael Jackson and Hampton. And you wonder why my husband and 5 sons said the dinner was the best? This set has a most reasonable price and well worth at least twice as much - Thank-you QJ.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great material, excellently remastered, December 21, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Musical Biography of Quincy Jones (Audio CD)
This collection runs the gamut of pop and jazz musical styles. When songs differed between the single and album version, the single version is used. For a Rhino box set, this title has excellent remastering. Instead of the usually over-bright presentation, Bernie Grundman is the remastering engineer here -- and he treats these tracks with a slight hand, allowing the original musicality of the master tapes shine through. You probably don't have these tracks sounding this good elsewhere in your collection (unless you own the Grundman remastered Michael Jackson albums).

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible collection of music history, December 29, 2001
This review is from: Musical Biography of Quincy Jones (Audio CD)
Jones's musical biography is a history of American music. The variety and depth of the music compiled on these CDs is amazing.
