Quincy Jones - Mellow Madness - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

SHM-CD. Mellow Madness stands as a testament to Q's remarkable talent for creating a captivating, sonic tapestry through the intersections of jazz, soul and funk. This is top-tier 1970s soul jazz, while transcending it's time and continuing the polished, percolating soul direction of Body Heat. The album introduced the Brothers Johnson, co-writers on four tracks, who sprinkle their trademark vocal harmonies on the funkiest of grooves, while the Watts Prophets heralded a new music genre, blending spoken word and beats on InchBeautiful Black Girl.Inch A highlight may be Stevie Wonder's euphoric InchMy Cherie Amour,Inch with vocals from Minnie Ripperton. Wah Wah Watson adds genius syncopation to InchTryin' to Find Out About You.Inch The last cut on the album is beautiful jazz standard, InchBluesette,Inch featuring a trombone jam and Toots Thielemans' virtuoso whistling.
