Ability Magazine’s Interview with Quincy Jones
Check out Quincy’s recent interview for Ability Magazine as he discusses his work with the Global Down Syndrome Foundation (GDSF) among many other topics:
“When Jones met John Sie, founder of Starz Entertainment Group, the two became fast friends. Today they work together in advancing a number of pet projects, including the Global Down Syndrome Foundation, the founding of which was inspired by Sie’s granddaughter, Sophia, who has Down syndrome.
In 2009, GDSF created the Quincy Jones Exceptional Advocacy Award in recognition of the musician’s prodigious philanthropy. As the producer behind two We Are the World recordings, he played an integral role in raising financial support for famine relief in Africa in 1985, and aid to those affected by the Haitian earthquake in 2010. ABILITY’s Chet Cooper caught up with Jones in Los Angeles.”
