Quincy Jones: Black Music’s Institutional Memory
His initial “Q” is synonymous with every thing that
Quincy Jones has done and his achievements as a musician, songwriter, producer, arranger, record label executive and entrepreneur are nearly unmatched by any of his peers. In terms of musical legacy, the only figure that Jones could be compared to is
Duke Ellington, though even he couldn’t claim to have his hand in as many musical genres of music as Jones has. Here Jones' work is represented in the title track to his 1970 recording
Gula Matari.
