I have been enjoying the BBC programme Q: The many lives of Quincy Jones. I came across his name on albums back in the 80s, but then came across his name on some great jazz recordings and on film scores. True music legend. Part 1 can still be found on the BBC iPlayer for a few more days…part two coming soon…
Q: The Many Lives of Quincy Jones
As I write this post, I am thinking about the tagging of the post. How do I tag Q?
The problem is that he is not constrained by genre (Jazz, pop, classical, hip hop). He himself says in the programme that he hates being categorised.
A side benefit of this first part was an introduction to a fascinating character by the name of the influential French composer and music educator Nadia Boulanger
