    Bridge Over Troubled Water

    By joyce  Dec 16, 2006

    Pros: Simply the best.

    Cons: Even at 5:08 minutes, it's too short.

    I was trying to decide if I dared start my now annual Christmas (as it was known before Bill O'Liely and his brethren ruined it) compilation CD with Bridge Over Troubled Water. After weeks of putting this Quincy Jones masterpiece in the last slot... I realized that that was just wrong. As I listened to it over and over again to make sure I wouldn't lose my diverse audience demographic because you can't dance to it I realized that I was really grateful that I paid $30 bucks for this song a few years ago. I mean the whole album is great but it was this song that got me hit "complete purchase". And not only that. It was because I was telling someone that I paid $30 for this song that my life got even better because they told me I could download this song on ITunes. So I bought an Apple notebook. But you ain't gonna find this song on ITunes. So now it's $50. Snag it while you can. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Gula Matari

  • All Music Guide

    With his second and last album under the Creed Taylor aegis, the complexities of Quincy Jones' catholic, evolving tastes start to reveal themselves. We hear signs of his gradual gravitation toward pop right off the bat with the churchy RB cover of Paul Simon's mega-hit "Bridge Over Troubled Water," dominated by Valerie Simpson's florid soul vocal and a gospel choir. His roots fixation surfaces in the spell-like African groove of the title track, a dramatic tone poem that ebbs and flows masterfully over its 13-minute length. From this point on, it's all jazz; the roaring big band comes back with a vengeance in "Walkin'," where Milt Jackson, Herbie Hancock, Hubert Laws, and other jazzers take fine solo turns, and things really get rocking on Nat Adderley's "Hummin'." Major Holley is a riot with his grumble-scat routine on bass. The whole record sounds like they must have had a ball recording it.
