Quincy Jones Prom Stomp!/ BBC.

[@Rescue162]

I love watching orchestras playing Old School songs.

[@FreshAirRules]

Oh please. They capture soul as well as they could play heavy metal. It just ain't gonna happen. I cannot believe the comments on here. Did you even listen to the original? Its like taking freshly made juice then adding a gallon of water to a cup of it. Give them a Beethoven symphony and see them shine. But not this music.

RIP Quincy Jones 1933 -2024 . You r legend and music lives on on our hearts .

[@sylviamaua745]

Great that the BBC honoured Quincy Jones. But what about Rod Temperton (RIP)? A Brit who wrote "Stomp" and many songs for Quincy Jones artists: "Off the Wall" and " Thriller" by Michael Jackson ; "Give Me the Night" by George Benson. Rod Temperton was also the main song writer and keyboard player for the group Heatwave and wrote their R&B hits "Always and Forever", "Boogie Nights" and "Groove Line".

[@FreshAirRules]

Only the British could have totally missed the intensity of Quincy Jones. This was pathetic. You people are deaf. Tonally, emotionally, rhythmically deaf. Listen to the original by Brothers Johnson and hear how it was first conceptualized in all its splendor. It was a masterpiece.

[@sylviamaua745]

@@FreshAirRules "You people are deaf" really? The Orchestra - Metropole Orkest - is based in the Netherlands. I admit the singers lack the Soul and Intensity of The Brothers Johnson, however, the writer of "Stomp", and many of Quincy Jones hits, was the late Rod Temperton who is British. Temperton wrote most of Michael Jackson's hits on "Off The Wall" and "Thriller".

[@FreshAirRules]

@@sylviamaua745 My comment was on their performance which was very sad. It didn't represent the original music in any way at all. That's not how cover music is supposed to be. You of course infuse your own interpretation in your performance but you have to respect the basic feel of the original. Here it was like they just didn't even listen to it at all. You can play all the notes flawlessly and its still without any inner feeling or soul. And I'd hardly call MJ even black. Its pop. Slick, catchy pop. A few of his songs were deeper but they almost never were popular. Break of Dawn, Heaven Can Wait, One More Chance, Whatever Happens (which did get quite popular) were a few good ones where you delved a little deeper. He was fixated on fame. His music demonstrates that. If you're a fan of MJ you probably would find this interesting. Its very well written and explains a lot of his behavior.

[@sylviamaua745]

@@FreshAirRules I agree with you but my original comment was about the songwriter of many Quincy Jones productions - Rod Temperton (RIP) - a Brit formerly keyboard player/songwriter of the Soul band Heatwave. It would have been nice of the BBC - Britain's public broadcaster to honour such a prolific songwriter who happens to be British.

[@sylviamaua745]

@@FreshAirRules Regarding your comments on Michael Jackson (MJ), apart from "Off The Wall" and the recordings with his brothers pre 1980, I am not a fan of his music. I like Soul/R&B, MJ's music from "Thriller" onwards is pop. Going back to the Quincy Jones tribute concert by the BBC, another song that was 'covered' in the performance was "Stuff Like That" an Ashford & Simpson song originally sung by Chaka Khan, it is also on KZbin. Unless the singers have soul it is very difficult to reproduce the magnificence of Chaka and like your opinion of the "Stomp" performance, I also found it lacked the quality of the original. I would be interested to hear your opinion on this.

[@nt123qwe]

This music lifts my heart and brings me to tears - in good way

[@selseyonetwenty4631]

Anyone who has never heard a full orchestra live - it's incredible. The amount of air moving around is something that speakers can never reproduce I don't care how good your system is.

[@Kassiusday]

You would say in live ? I never had that opportunity but will try to attend … since you say it is an unique experience …

[@pmnoble4959]

This music is the epitome of what Mr Quincy Jones was about. Smooth grooves that will always be classics. R.I.P music legend.

[@davidenaldi7624]

Thank you mr Q to exist..your music is sound from heaven

[@AndyHutchins-hq5rr]

Thanks for posting this great version. Mr. Temperton was indeed a quiet master - very much like Leon Ware. If you get a chance, check out Mr Ware live at Paradiso in Amsterdam 2001 (near the Rijksmuseum, Stedelijk and Van Gogh (well the old one) - Erik Blom was the producer for Dutch TV and posted this 35 minute tape. Will post the link when I get time. We are dancing at home over Xmas to Leon - what did that man touch that didn't turn to gold or $$$. Best

[@Vekyle]

Damn shame you can hardly hear the bass 🙄 The backbone of any funk classic.

[@louenkleinsmidt]

This is the mix we're getting on KZbin. Things may have been different in the auditorium.

[@Kassiusday]

I agree ! is neglected !!! As usually ! But if no bass then no funk !!! Funk can’t exist without bass !!

Even the musicians in the orchestra are into the groove :) Love it. With all due respect to the US, the BBC takes the cake with this production. England is a musical talent factory.

[@FreshAirRules]

On please. Into the groove? Its VERY rare that white people can ever capture black vibrancy and depth in music. This is typical of the disconnect one sees when its attempted. If they can even clap a few tims on time its a miracle! But its way beyond mere accidental rhythm. There's a total lack of connection here with the deep strife black people experienced back then that shines through their music with such ripping feeling. This orchestra would have been better suited capturing the rawness of the Deliverence movie.
