Although he produced and arranged every track, Quincy Jones is rarely front and center on his own album. Instead, every track is jazzed up--and souled up and rocked up and popped up--by a galaxy of guest stars. The range is remarkable; any album that can bring together Ella Fitzgerald and Ice-T has to have something going for it. That something is Jones's uncanny ability to match artists and songs; few other producers would have thought of a Ray Charles and Chaka Khan duet, and having that song be the exhilarating \"I'll Be Good To You\" is just lagniappe. Jones's jazz roots show proudly throughout, most particularly on the slinky bossa nova groove of \"Septembro (Brazilian Wedding Song)\" and the celebratory tribute \"Birdland.\" However, BACK ON THE BLOCK is really a concept album about the 20th century evolution of African-American music.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47344792043807,"sku":"075992602020","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/de19bb355a1ea798bb2339d5dbb526fe.jpg?v=1777986181","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/back-on-the-block-1","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
