I knew that Quincy Jones is the living legend responsible for the biggest selling album in history, Michael Jackson's Thriller, but I had no idea of his previous accomplishments in the Jazz world. BBC Four recently aired a two-part documentary dedicated to Quincy's outstanding career. The first installment, aired a week ago on Friday, last week followed Q's story from child to the pre-Thriller era. The second installment, aired last night, took up at Thriller through to the present day. Luke is featured in both installments, but mainly the second one.
QUINCY JONES TRIBUTE FEATURING LUKE PART 1A, 1B, 1C...... 1933-1974 PART 2A, 2B, 2C...... 1974-2008 ENJOY......
If you would like to see the Quincy Jones documentary in all its glory (i.e. uncompressed video and audio), both Part1 and Part2 will be repeated on British TV from 9pm to 11pm on BBC4 on THURSDAY 26TH JUNE.
One for the New Year ~ Cause this is what Toto is to me....The Biggest Part of ME!!
I went to see Greg play last night at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. It was a show to honor Herbie Hancock It was probably one of the most insane, unreal shows I've ever seen. Superstar after superstar entered the stage and played a couple of tunes,.. On the last song the played, chameleon, they used 3 drummers, Vinnie Colaiuta, Harvey Mason and Teddy Campbell, Luis Conte on percussion. It was great to see Greg perform in a different setting. Just a small selection of people who played: Herbie Hancock, Sting, Joni Mitchell,Terance Blanchard,George Benson,George Duke, Jamie Foxx, Al Jarreau, Nancy Wilson,Vinnie Colaiuta, Nathan East, Paul Jackson Jr, John Patitucci,.... and the list goes on and on.
