Quincy Jones knows how to open a song. The opening chords here, played so gently by the horns, build perfectly towards the entrance of the saxophone. Those opening chords don’t reappear anywhere else in the song. This is basically the same thing he did in “Thriller,” with those great opening synth chords that appear only in the initial spooky momentum build.\n\n2. Quincy Jones knows a catchy melody. When the saxophone comes in, it plays the main melodic hook, an eight-note sequence which, in non-instrumental versions, carries the words of the song’s title. Not only is it a memorable, simple melody, but it rises and falls like the sun.\n\n3. Quincy Jones loves to shine the spotlight on others. Here, the spotlight shines on saxophonist Phil Woods, but Woods is just one name in a list several miles long of musicians who have benefitted from Jones’ talent as a producer, arranger, composer, and band-leader. From be-bop through to hip-hop, there are few careers whose ripples have spread in so many directions as that of Quincy Jones.: https://www.beautifulsongoftheweek.com/7368-2/", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }{ "id": 3422530, "uri": "
