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": 3422529, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3422529/?format=api", "airdate": "2024-11-07T14:05:38-08:00", "show": 61788, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/61788/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://ia802302.us.archive.org/9/items/mbid-1c6f2a35-4288-4f5d-9eec-97ca32e2a226/mbid-1c6f2a35-4288-4f5d-9eec-97ca32e2a226-32304157771_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://ia902302.us.archive.org/9/items/mbid-1c6f2a35-4288-4f5d-9eec-97ca32e2a226/mbid-1c6f2a35-4288-4f5d-9eec-97ca32e2a226-32304157771_thumb250.jpg", "song": "Soul Flower (remix)", "track_id": "a1bbc17c-9cb0-497b-aa03-0b5059bffd29", "recording_id": "056cdefd-d47c-48e4-bce6-fd3f60504f32", "artist": "The Pharcyde", "artist_ids": [ "d7134426-a937-43bf-bc54-f10ad8102ed9" ], "album": "Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde", "release_id": "1c6f2a35-4288-4f5d-9eec-97ca32e2a226", "release_group_id": "c799ef0c-f038-364b-972b-51f52d794781", "labels": [ "The Bicycle Music Company" ], "label_ids": [ "f07edfd8-0819-41e1-acf7-3eaa94d88ae9" ], "release_date": "1992-11-24", "rotation_status": "Library", "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "The Pharcyde sampled multiple elements of Quincy Jones' \"The Main Squeeze.\"\n--\n\"Kicking off with an A-plus sample from Howard Morris’ Jetsons ditty “Eep Oppp Ork Ah-Ah,” 1992's \"Soul Flower (remix) spirals into a drug-induced psychedelic rant, accented with well-placed horn samples.\" Enjoy this tribute to this great dance song: https://music.avclub.com/the-pharcyde-drops-science-about-aids-menudo-and-zig-1798236681", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3422528, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3422528/?format=api", "airdate": "2024-11-07T14:05:06-08:00", "show": 61788, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/61788/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "Main Squeeze (Instrumental)", "track_id": null, "recording_id": "3e138877-17de-4d8b-bad7-c4a5309fd2c3", "artist": "Quincy Jones", "artist_ids": [ "5803c81e-739a-4057-9a5c-cf84e55db630" ], "album": "The Lost Man", "release_id": null, "release_group_id": "a9e2c589-754c-407a-be6b-e6e45d4bbec4", "labels": [ "UNI Records" ], "label_ids": [ "83dedbf0-9cd7-470a-b317-0bb724785b20" ], "release_date": "1969-01-01", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Quincy Jones wrote the music for the soundtrack of \"The Lost Man,\" starring Sidney Poitier.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3422527, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3422527/?format=api", "airdate": "2024-11-07T14:01:20-08:00", "show": 61788, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/61788/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "Cassius 1999", "track_id": null, "recording_id": "9d06c9c2-f107-4934-84a9-4cc932862bde", "artist": "Cassius", "artist_ids": [ "256160e8-37fd-4f8c-a3ef-530ebbaa4b3d" ], "album": "1999", "release_id": null, "release_group_id": "111acca4-ee70-371a-b48a-686656012caf", "labels": [ "Virgin" ], "label_ids": [ "49b58bdb-3d74-40c6-956a-4c4b46115c9c" ], "release_date": "1999-01-25", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "This song sampled Donna Summer's \"(If It) Hurts Just a Little\".\n--\nCassius was a French musical duo consisting of producers Philippe Cerboneschi and Hubert Blanc-Francard, better known as Zdar and Boombass (or sometimes Philippe Zdar and Hubert Boombass): https://www.allmusic.com/artist/cassius-mn0000193444/biography", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3422526, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3422526/?format=api", "airdate": "2024-11-07T13:59:06-08:00", "show": 61788, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/61788/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "(If It) Hurts Just a Little", "track_id": null, "recording_id": "44c4605e-b433-4202-adad-6cd35d9757a9", "artist": "Donna Summer", "artist_ids": [ "b60527cc-54f3-4bbe-a01b-dcf34c95ae14" ], "album": "Donna Summer", "release_id": null, "release_group_id": "5ce82115-defb-3b6f-9a17-527a0f1e9c71", "labels": [ "Warner Bros.

And most of the music we did was first take from the backing track point of view and the shape of things and I just told him to put the microphone on and he said, 'Cool.' And he was recording and he went to the piano and I started singing. And we recorded that track totally as it was and he would follow my emotion vocally and vice versa, if he went to a minor chord I'd come back down and sing in a different mode. That's why you have the highs and lows in working with Vangelis, because it is a very spontaneous combustion idea. That we're working as a team, not knowing where we're going. A couple of days later I started doing the lyrics and I went in and sang it and by then he'd done all the arranging and it was finished after two or three sessions.
