Hugely enjoyable CD - By: weeze, 03 Nov 2006 
If you only buy one Quincy Jones CD then this is the one to have. This CD is a real gem & one of my favourite CD's - every track is quality. This is good-time music that will won't fail to put youin a playful mood, a real joy to listen to.
Master of Mojo! - By: Kevin Mcclure, 21 Feb 2006 As an arrager & collaborator with everyone from Count Basie, through Miles Davis to Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones is peerless. He has huge skillin getting a sound that is required. This piece of Latin Jazz history has, I guess, been revived by its central rolein putting the mojoin the Austen Powers movies. Although Mike Meyers seems to specialisein disposible light comedy we have much to thank him for not leasr for helping to focus attention on this brilliant album, which many of us would previously have thought of as too cheesy for our tastes. Soul Bossa Nova is just one of the jems here. If you are still woried about this making you look too uncool then you can always turn up your CD Player full blast & put on Miles Davis Knd of Blue*/The Arctic Monkeys*/The Complete Wangner's Ring Cycle* (*delete as appropriate)afterwards. Good-time music for people who want music that puts a smile on their face.
Much more than Austin Powers - By: Paul O'Neill, 07 Aug 2002 From 'My Definition' to Austin Powers via the World Cup 1998, the title track of this album is everywhere. What about the rest of it though? It's great! Big, brassy, Latin-esque, uplifting music to put a smile on any face. It's the CD I put on when I want a lift, when I want to end up jumping around the house like a fool or just before I'm going to go out. Infectious & always a crowd pleaser...
