Q cool in Ebony
Check out the November issue of Ebony with Jennifer Hudson, Queen Latifah and Alicia Keys on the cover. It features an interview with Quincy by Joy T. Bennett tied into the release of Quincy’s forthcoming book, The Complete Quincy Jones: My Journey & Passions.
You’ll have to pick up the magazine to get the full scoop, but we’ll tease you with a bit of Bennett’s opening observations about Q and the book.
“Quincy Delight Jones Jr. is a hurricane of creativity, a Renaissance man and a pack rat,” Bennett writes. “Out of his treasure trove of memorabilia he has fashioned a unique all-access pass to his life, the history of jazz and rare musings from the maestro in his own words.”
