Nominated for 12 Grammy Awards, including a win for Jones for Producer of the Year, Quincy's 1981 album "The Dude" was simply one of the most rigorous realizations of his talents: orchestration, arranging, sequencing, his ear for anticipating new sounds, and his assembling of a knockout team of musicians, writers and engineers. Quincy's work bridged, merging genres in ways others could not, and with it's versatile moods and complex arrangements, The Dude is a unique blend of bebop, jazz, funk, pop balladry and dance, with hints of African syncopation and quiet storms that provided a connection to the then-emerging hip-hop scene. With Jones in the bag, an elite band of musicians formed, including Herbie Hancock, Greg Phillinganes and Stevie Wonder on keys, Louis Johnson on bass, Jerry Hey on horn, Syreeta Wright and Michael Jackson on backing vocals, and Patti Austin and James Ingram turned in stellar vocal performances. Engineer Bruce Swedien was at the desk and Rod Temperton wrote four of the album's nine songs. Between Toots Thielemans' atmospheric and sharp harmonica, the delicacy and tenderness of Ingram's signature baritone, Austin's razor-sharp technique and instinctive sensuality and Stevie Wonder's funk composition, Betcha Wouldn't Hurt Me, it's an album that makes you want to groove, dance and love someone.
