Quincy Jones’ latest studio album Q: Soul Bossa Nostra, Jones’ first release in 15 years, is just out on Qwest / Interscope.  This LP is a collection of 15 songs, taken from Quincy's rich production repertoire, and are reinterpreted by the current household names of jazz, R&B and pop. Q: Soul Bossa Nostra, a wink to Quincy Jones’ 1962 Soul Bossa Nova album, follows on the soundprint of the 1995 Q’s Jook Joint album, which held in its waves a star-packed line up and earned seven Grammy nominations. In a similar vein, this album features a bewildering list of singers, musicians and producers who revisit songs Quincy Jones’ Midas touch had turned into classics.  Here is a Quincy Jones production that features Usher, Ludacris, Akon, Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Hudson, Mary J. Blige, T-Pain, Robin Thicke, LL Cool J, John Legend, Snoop Dogg, Wyclef Jean, Q-Tip, Talib Kweli, Three 6 Mafia, David Banner, Bebe Winans, Mervyn Warren, Jermaine Dupri, DJ Paul and Scott Storch.
