Customer Reviews of The Dude
The Kings & Queen of Qwest Quincy Jones, James Ingram, and Patti Austin created something so mesmerizing and timeless that even after it's 20 year release the Dude remains as one of my favorite Qwest productions. They combined some of the most beautiful and captivating sounds of soul,pop-jazz, r&b of the time or decade with a slight edge of funk and early rap (title-track)...The enchanting harmonica-instrumental(courtesy of Stevie Wonder) Velas (which means "candles" in Spanish) with it's light and melodius whistling vocals is also a timeless gem ! The futuristic opening track Ai No Corrida (also Spanish for "No Way Out" or "No Other Path")is magically mysterious as it is soulfully seductive. Razzamatazz is the pinnacle dance jam on the entire disc with some of the smoothest vocals by Austin and enticing musical hooks by Jones. The rest of the flawless tracks,vocals and production have made this one of my all time favorite pop-jazz fusion albums by Jones, Austin, and Ingram !...I have yet to listen to another producer or group of artists that can top this project and collaboration from 20 years ago...
"THE DUDE" AND HIS LADY CREATE A MASTERPIECE
This is one of Quincy Jones' best albums. Everything about the album is tight, from the instrumentals to the vocals, which are outstanding. This album was a wonderful introduction and showcase for James Ingram with the classic tunes "100 Ways" and "Just Once." And PATTI AUSTIN; what more can you say. This is her introduction as the "First Lady" of Qwest records, Quincy's label, after she left CTI. Her performance on this album gets you ready for what's to come from her solo efforts of the decade. The styles she explores range from the bouncy "Razzmatazz," to the understated elation of "Something Special," to the knowing lover of "Betcha Wouldn't Hurt Me." Patti gets funky on the title track with a little help from others such as Michael Jackson. This album was a blueprint for R&B music as the genre went from the disco era into the new decade. This is the CLASS ALBUM of the decade, and one of the albums I would want to have if I was on a desert island. A masterpiece.
Just to clarify something...
The title of the first track "Ai no corrida" is the title of a Japanese (sort-of-XXX) movie also known as "Realm of Senses" in english. This movie tells the story of a growing sex obsession between a woman and her lover. It seems that the atmosphere that the film describes was the inspiration for the song.
