Teasing the Korean Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago RIP. Before I even knew his name, I knew his music through my Dad's copy of The Double Six of Paris's Capitol debut, which included all Quincy Jones arrangements.  These four are real favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Beat Steve Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago RIP. Just too bad the daily press and news obits reduce his work and accomplishments more or less to Michael Jackson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasing the Korean Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago 8 minutes ago, Big Beat Steve said: RIP. Just too bad the daily press and news obits reduce his work and accomplishments more or less to Michael Jackson. And "We are the World." The recent-ish documentary, which played like a two-hour trailer, also gave his jazz and film work the short shrift. At least Sinatra was mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just too bad the daily press and news obits reduce his work and accomplishments more or less to Michael Jackson. Not on the BBC, so far the Jackson years have been mentioned but easily as much focus has been on his other work in film, with Sinatra and writing/arranging for big bands etc. I'm impressed by their coverage and hoping for some more in depth as they pull it together. That aside, those Jackson albums are pretty damn important in recent-ish music history and definitely deserve the coverage. Edited 13 hours ago by mjazzg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rostasi Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Sorry to see this. I was at the station this afternoon and informed the local DJ (who plays a lot of jazz on her show - she's a big fan of Abdullah Ibrahim) about his death and she was able to fit in some tunes. I remember Albertson had some very unkind words about Q, but no matter how "difficult" the guy may have been, he left us a big bounty of music to enjoy. ... and, hey! he stuck around to 91!
