From the dust jacket: "Everything you love about American popular culture is Quincy Jones. As an artist and impresario Quincy Jones has been a phenomenal creative catalyst for over sixty years -- working with jazz pioneers such as Gillespie, Ellington, and Basie, orchestrating the sounds of Frank Sinatra, setting the ambiance for Steven Spielberg's THE COLOR PURPLE among his more than 30 film scores, helping to create the jazz fusion movement in the 70s, introducing the world to cultivating the talent of Michael Jackson, and introducing to the world Oprah Winfrey and Will Smith... Comprised of personal interviews and recollections with Jones, The Complete Quincy Jones peers behind the veil of celebrity, with extraordinary access to his creative inspirations and labors through private notebooks, personal correspondence, memorabilia, and photographs, many reproduced here as removable facsimiles... Jones emerges as a contemplative and dynamic maestro and humanitarian, thriving on intuition and ceaselessly pursuing the soul of his art." Oversize Hardcover. 10.5" wide by 11.25" tall.
