Quincy Jones – The Dude (1981, A&M)
Organizzatore extralusso, produttore magnanimo, arrangiatore finissimo, guida ideale, Quincy Jones supervisiona, arrotonda i suoni, dirige grandi musicisti e grandi vocalist. Non c’è nulla di inarrivabile per lui quando di tratta di pop e r&b, ballata soul e jazz d’autore. Dodici nominations per il Grammy Award: album dell’anno (The Dude), produttore dell’anno (Quincy Jones), miglior interprete pop maschile (James Ingram per Just Once), miglior artista esordiente (James Ingram), miglior interprete di r&b (Patti Austin per Razzamatazz), miglior brano strumentale (Velas), miglior interprete maschile di r&b (James Ingram per One Hundred Ways), migliore performance di r&b eseguita da duo o gruppo (The Dude), miglior brano r&b (Ai No Corrida), miglior arrangiamento strumentale (Velas), migliore arrangiamento vocale e strumentale (Ai No Corrida), migliore registrazione non classica (The Dude). Questo fu l’ultimo "regalo" di Quincy Jones alla A&M prima di proseguire con la sua neonata label personale Q-West, non c’è altro da aggiungere.
