Big Band Bossa Nova

by: Quincy Jones

Release Date October 24, 2005
I'm not a music expert or anything like that. i just know that I like a good melody and pleasant sounds. I listen to this music in the car together with my 8 year old son and it puts a smile on both our faces. When ever I play this CD, anyone that hears it enjoys it's melodies and I keep havingt to buy it for my friends. This music is timeless and certainly sells Quincy Jones as a guy with a good ear for arranging different sounds and tempos within a piece of music. We can't get enough of the trumpets on No 3 i.e "Desafinado". We love the percussions in "Samba de Una Nota So" i.e tract 7. The flutes on track 9 and the trumpets on track 9 we could listen to over and over again. You can't go wrong with this music. My Dad is 70, I'm in my forties ... Read More:

A Love Supreme - The Collection

by: Will Downing

Release Date September 02, 2002
The majority of people will have heard of Will Downing as he’s been around a long time having been a session singer with Rose Royce and Billy Ocean.

His biggest hits were in the late eighties with Love Supreme and his interpretation of Denice Williams’s Free.

This is a mid price offering of some of his more popular hits/covers and would be filed in the soul jazz category.

The collection includesthe hits you would expect John Coltranes, A love Supreme which is one of my favourite records of all time, the love we share, giving it all to you a superb slice of soul with a killer bass line in the background. The best covers are Free, wishing on a star, and the world is a ghetto.

Will has the same talent ... Read More:

Back on the Block

by: Quincy Jones

Release Date November 27, 1989
Diverse, Jazzy, Funky and Soulful

I bought this album over 10 years ago and it still sounds as brilliant and in vogue today as it did then. I would even call it one of the best R'n'B albums of all time taking into account I am a big Stevie Wonder fan who unfortunately did not guest on this particular album. Quincy Jones a man who lives and breathes music, producing, arranging and sometimes composing for such greats as Frank Sinatra, Count Basie, George Benson, Michael Jackson .......... not to mention classic soundtracks to films such as The Italian Job and In the Heat of the Night. Back on the Block is one his best 'solo' albums.

From the opening prologue where even Quincy Jones adds his own rap seguing into the title track to a variety ... Read More:

Greatest Hits

by: Odyssey

Release Date April 07, 2003
I was still quite young when the disco craze hit the world, certainly way too young to enjoy what was going on in nightclubs, not too young to enjoy the music though!
My favourites at the time were undoubtedly this band. I recall dancing to all the hits at school disco's and once at a very magical evening trip to a local ice rink disco, with the youth club. But as well as stirring memories of the the late 70's and early 80's revisiting these tracks creates thoughts of just how stylisticly variable, vocally accomplished and downright excellent this band was! They deserved a lot more credit way back when and they do know. I defy you not to want to dance like crazy to "use it up" and "back to my roots" and I absolutley defy you to listen carefully to "native ... Read More:

Always and Forever: the Best of Heatwave

by: Heatwave

Release Date May 06, 1996
The british ground breaking band that wowed us in the discos with "The groove line" and charted with "mind blowing decisions"
and hit the floor and the charts with "boogie nights"
This is a best of album and has many more club tracks that remained album tracks only, nevertheless still have that rod temperton Quality about them, Who went on to be one of the most prolific writers of all time for michael Jackson.
Lend an ear to the last track "big guns" an infectious piece of jazz-funk that I cant stop playing!!
