If I heard a Quincy Jones song I don’t think I would be able to say … that’s a Quincy Jones song. After playing a few, yes there is a certain rhythm etc that one could identify. I like Bossa Nova and Birdland.
That was interesting about Las Vegas. I’ve never been there. Don’t want to go.

The man is simply amazing and I loved the video explaining how much Sinatra helped the black entertainers. He was a great humanitarian and supporter of equal rights.
So glad you enjoyed these vids today, D!

Quincy Jones was a master inventor of musical hybrids, he has shuffled pop, soul, hip-hop, jazz, classical, African and Brazilian music into many dazzling fusions, traversing virtually every medium, including records, live performance, movies and television.

I’m happy you had room for “Soul Bossa Nova.” That’s the one Quincy Jones album I own.
