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.

Quincy Jones's facet of player and mostly arranger during the 60's and early 70's is not as well known as his greatly awarded work as producer. But the atmosphere of this record is that of a black-and-white TV (before cable), the sounds of the captivating themes they used for series...you will travel back to the great jazz sounds this genius-of-the-groove created. With this one I could not help it but turn on the volume and tune in to some of the best punch of the hard bop and funk era.
