Jay leads us into a celebration of Quincy Jones, who died last week at the age of 91. An accomplished musician, bandleader, record producer, songwriter, composer, arranger, and film and television producer, Jones won 28 Grammy Awards and many other accolades in his 70 year career. We could do entire shows about this guy and still miss important contributions that he made to music. He lived a long and productive life and we’re grateful for it.

Songs:

Quincy Jones - “Ai No Corrida”

Quincy Jones - “Soul Bossa Nova”

Frank Sinatra - “You Make Me Feel So Young”
