The history of music artists; The case of Quincy Jones!
You know, Quincy Jones is not living any more, but he managed to be popular and to be listened to when he was with breathing, heartbeat and moving when we are humans just as humans are and can be when we are here. And we should have freedom and diversity in the life, and everybody in every environments should be careful with too much conservative actions and ways of understanding the life, since we are forming the life ourselves when we are here.
Quincy Jones was a record producer, composer, arranger, conductor, trumpeter, and bandleader, and hence he had many roles and ways to understand the life when we were like we were when being here. Jones produced the song «We are the World, We are the Children», and hence he was popular and famous with his being as he was in the life when being here, and we are suddently there, and we are suddenly away from it, and that is how the life is perceived by several of us.
So, we are finding most of the music from Quincy Jones on the ordinary music platforms on the internet, and these are YouTube, YouTube Music, Spotify, Deezer and Apple Music, and we can play and enjoy what we are seeing there when being on the planet just as we are as a human with the qualities and the quantities of human variables we are having when being here.
Quincy Delight Jones jr. was an American record producer, musician and songwriter, and during his years in the entertaining industry, Jones received 79 Grammy Award-nominations, and he was assigned 27 Grammy Awards, in addition to the honor prize Grammy Legends Award in 1991. And Quincy Jons was born on 14 March 1933 in Chicago in Illinois in the United States, and he died on 3 November 2024 in Los Angeles in California in the United States, being 91 years old. And when being in the life, people are making traces or none-traces to the times and the spaces we are having when being here.
Quincy Jones is known for several music pieces like for instance Soul Bossa Nova, Ironside, Fly Me to the Moon together with Frank Sinatra, Just Once, Liberian Girl, Tomorrow, The Erotic Garden, Ai No Corrida, Maybe God is Trying to Tell You Something, The Secret Garden and Misty. And Jon Anderson has made music and texts about Today and Yesterday, and therefore we have music of all times of the life which we are perceiving when being alive in the life here.
Quincy Delight Jones, Jr., known to his friends as “Q,” was born on Chicago’s South Side. When he was ten he moved, with his father and stepmother, to Bremerton, Washington, a suburb of Seattle. So, what was the message of Quincy Jones trying to tell the world? Well, it is: The music is just like a melody. You can study orchestration, you can study harmony and theory and everything else, but melodies come straight from God. So, where the human forces are coming from we do not have any clear answer today, and people are thinking and feeling the same and the differently on these issues, and nobody can be sure about the correct answer.
Jones earned a scholarship to Seattle University in 1951. After one semester, he transferred to what is now the Berklee College of Music in Boston on another scholarship, where he played at Izzy Ort's Bar & Grille with Bunny Campbell and Preston Sandiford, whom he cited as important influences. And we are free to be where we want when we are here, and the universities are places to be, and that is also the case of the business schools and the colleges.
Why was Quincy Jones so successful and popular? Well, his innovative sound, blending elements of pop, funk, and R&B, revolutionized the music industry and set new standards for production quality. And he managed to do something new to the world, and many people are going in the established traces all their lives. Quincy Jones was awarded an honorary doctorate in 1983 by the Berklee College of Music. And Quincy Jones is associated with What It Takes is an audio podcast produced by the American Academy of Achievement featuring different aspects and issues in the life.
