5.0 out of 5 stars Reserve a table at the "Jook Joint" Tonight!!!, July 11, 2001

What a stunning set of songs by incredible artists!! I am a sucker for a good compilation cd! Quincy knew what he was doing with the release of "Q's Jook Joint". It was sad though, because I was almost a year late in getting this cd. I just happened to be over my cousin's house hanging out, heard Brandy's trademark voice on the Michael Jackson remake, "Rock With You", made her play the whole cd, then just up and left to buy it! If you like jazz, get this cd. If you like R&B get this cd. If you like rap, get this cd. If you don't like any of those genres of music, you still have to get this cd. It definitely satisfies! If for nothing else buy it for the wonderful collaboration, "Moody's Mood For Love", a wonderful duet between Brian McKnight and Rachelle Ferrell with Take 6 doing background vocals (pure heaven!!!). The whole cd hits the nail right on the head. I love the way it feels like you are really in an old skool meets new skool night club. Not just a cd, but an experience like no other! You better reserve your seat at the "Jook Joint" today! You don't want to get turned away at the door!

Just a few other artists featured on the cd include Gloria Estefan, Chaka Chan, Phil Collins, Tamia, Babyface, Ronald Isley (Mr. Bigg), R. Kelly, Naomi Campbell and Queen Latifah.

5.0 out of 5 stars This CD was a well kept a secret. Why?, November 13, 1998

This review is from: Q's Jook Joint (Audio CD)

An eclectic gathering of folks who party and sing well, that's what this CD is all about. Found it by accident. Heard the Phil Collins cut (Do nothin' Till You Hear From Me), tried to find it at music store and surprise, surprise...it was just a teaser from Q's Jook Joint. Everything, and I mean everything (including the creaking of the hot tub floorboards) is great on this CD. Whoever did the marketing should be fired. Most of my friends never heard nor were aware of the CD. This is one of the best CDs I've heard in years.

Quincy Jones' best album.
This is one of the great "concept" discs, based on the juke joints that served as makeshift nightclubs dotted across the landscape in the south in decades long gone by.
With a stellar cast of musicians as his instruments, Quincy literally creates the atmosphere of his own juke joint in track 1 and then runs with a gorgeous, beat filled hour non-stop after that.
The sound quality is fabulous - let it roll over you with the lights low and it will transport you to another time and with its energy and rhythms
I've purchased two copies of this CD for myself, given two as gifts and, of course, have it on my iPod.
Everyone I've turned on to this album has thanked me.
Highest recommendation. Its just great.
