 Quincy Jones September 14, 2007

Music was skipped between song # 12 to 15 all the time. Not a good CD.

I was really looking forward to listening to this CD. If you loved Jook Joint and Back On The Block you will be disappointed with this CD.

Yes, he is.
This collection "favors" collaborative efforts between Quincy Jones and other singers, indeed. It's easy to forget, too, that Quincy Jones "made" so many of those singers.
After some years, it's way too easy to forget how wonderful the compositions and "charts" are. Much of Quincy's music that got heavy airplay a generation ago is now stereotyped into the disco era, which is unfortunate. A man of his amazing abilities does not easily fit into any one particular shoebox.
A great CD - very listenable and has something for everybody. My favorite cut, though, has to be his scoring for the movie "In the Realm of the Senses." Amazing melody, and rendered in an unforgettable style.
The Best Quincy Jones Compilation on One Disc Because Quincy Says So! December 18, 2005
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
If you read the liner notes to the cd, Quincy talks about the selections on this disc that he chose as the ultimate. He talks about the difficulty of choosing among his "children" but for this one disc, he finally did and the 18 tracks here are the result. Atlantic Records has Rhino and now A&M has Hip-O and the sound quality is just fabulous. Simply great R&B throughout showcasing the great producing abilities of Quincy Jones who perhaps after Sir George Martin, is the best producer ever. My favourite tracks are the ones off the great "The Dude" album which comprise 5 of the 18 tracks here. If you are looking for a great sounding, one disc compilation of Quincy Jones' best work, this is the disc to get. Recommended.
Quite a phenomenal collection of Quincy's best! October 22, 2004
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is such a phenomenal album for its 79 minutes! Quincy Jones has to be the best composer in the business. He knows how to make superb songs. The album starts a little slow at first with some of his early '70s offerings, but the quality and musicianship is superb. Then when it gets funky to Stuff Like That, Ai No Corrida and the Dude album's hits, the energy picks up! It later shifts to his hits from Back on the Block and the beautiful "The Secret Garden." And to selections from Q's Jook Joint. Only Quincy could gather Al B Sure, James Ingram, El DeBarge and Barry White onto one song and make it an R&B classic. And Tamia's song still sounds wonderful. At times it feels like a James Ingram/ Patti Austin album because those singers appeared on a lot of Quincy's albums. But that stops when you hear other singers like Tevin Campbell on this album. This is such a remarkable album of timeless songs that are still well received today.
