Q: Soul Bossa Nostra is a studio album by Quincy Jones, recorded in 2010 with various artists.[3] The album was released on November 9, 2010,[4] and was Jones's final album; he died in 2024.[5] The title of the album refers to Jones's 1962 instrumental track "Soul Bossa Nova".

Background

Recorded as a tribute to Jones, and featuring re-interpretations of songs associated with him, it was Jones's first original album since 1995's Q's Jook Joint. Jones served as executive producer.[3]

In a press release announcing the album Jones stated, "Each artist picked a song that resonated with them for different reasons. I am honored that everyone wanted to be a part of this celebration of these songs. They all made them their own and knocked them out of the park."[3] Years later, he told an interviewer for New York "I was not in favor of doing it, but the rappers wanted to record something as a tribute to me, where they'd do versions of songs that I’d done over my career. I said to them, "Look, you got to make the music better than we did on the originals." That didn't happen. T-Pain, man, he didn't pay attention to the details."[6]
