How to save the album By Quincy Jones

From Yahoo.com LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - Ever since Shawn Fanning launched the original Napster -- and even more so now that legitimate downloading has taken off via iTunes -- I've been hearing lots of talk about the death of the album. It's getting louder and louder, and it has our industry running scared. As you all know, single tracks -- whether they're purchased legitimately or downloaded illegally -- are cutting into the sales of albums, which are far more profita... MORE

Free music video of Miss Celie's Blues (Sister) - (from "The Color Purple", with Tata Vega) (35)
Quincy Jones wrote the score for a total of 33 major motion pictures, starting with Pawnbroker, and that doesn't include scores, like Austin Powers, where Quincy's music was used off the shelf. With that kind of library, how do you choose? In the Heat of the Night (as mentioned by bartleby), or its sequel They Call me Mister Tibbs wouldn't be bad choices. But, The Color Purple is, to my mind, the cream of the crop. The breadth of the score is staggering, and there isn... MORE

Deadmandeadman suggested I do a series on Quincy Jones. The problem with such an idea is, where do you even start? Well, one way to start is to draw musical connections to Quincy Jones that people might not know about. This is one of them. Quincy Jones is an enormous talent, and is gifted in so many areas, not the least of which is doing some impressive arrangements; a skill he honed while doing arrangements for Dizzy Gillespie's big band that toured the world on beha...

When Quincy Was Way Cool

Free music video of Soul Bossa Nova (28)
Blog post image preview I've been diggin' on Quincy Jones album "Big Band Bossa Nova" from '64. Picked this up at my local library to give some early Quincy a spin. I gotta say it's pretty groovy & funky in a jazzy, latin rhythms way. I was also quite suprised that I recognized the first track off of it called "Soul Bossa Nova". A week or so ago Rawkiddo posted a rap group that used a sample from "Soul Bossa Nova" and I can't recall their name but I let him know where the sample came from(I... MORE

Blog post image preview Although they crafted one of the most successful albums of all time together, Quincy Jones isn't exactly jumping at the opportunity to get back in the studio with troubled star Michael Jackson again. In an interview with NME, Jones says although he's been in contact with Jackson, a reunion isn't likely at this point, "Man please, I've got enough to do. We already did that. I have talked to him about working with him again but I've got too much to do. I've got 900 products,... MORE

Blog post image preview Alright my beautiful moggers, I made a trip to the library to drop off some dvds & pick up some more, but since I was there I decided to see if they had the Quincy Jones cd I posted about yesterday & sure enough it was there! So you lucky people are going to get a few more cuts off it. I know you are all so enthralled, heh! This is my 2nd favorite cut: Can you say gah-roooovy?!!! I knew you could!

Blog post image preview Have you ever really listened to The Theme from Sanford & Son? I downloaded the extended play version from Limewire and have been playing it in the car, around the house...it's in the rotation currently. I am telling you that 100% of the folks that hear it have the same reaction...first, they giggle, because it sounds like you're about to walk into a junkyard....but after the initial chuckle, they all dig it!
