Bio:
"Maybe I can hitchhike a ride into the future with these kids, they are the most talented young people on the planet."
Quincy Jones, trumpeter, composer, arranger, producer, bandleader...studied with Nadia Boulanger and Olivier Messiaen, and has worked with artists ranging from Harold Arlen to Ray Charles to Lionel Hampton to Dizzy Gillespie to Count Basie to Duke Ellington to Sarah Vaughan to Dinah Washington to Gene Krupa to Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackson.
He hardly needs an introduction to anybody who has listened to music over the past fifty years, his appellation "Q" having become musical coin of the realm.
And now he has embarked on a new voyage, carrying a prodigiously talented group of young musicians into the public light, that the rest of the world may benefit by the gifts these musicians have been given and by the hard work they've put into developing those gifts.
