Quincy Jones

On time? Frank, you sounded like you were mad at the microphone personally.

Says the man who called everyone kid except when the check cleared.

Both of y’all need to relax. Quincy made hits out of chaos and still had time to judge the snacks.

I worked with legends and somehow the hardest part was getting adults to sing in the same key twice.

That’s the real genius: Quincy producing music and emotional damage at the same time.

That’s the tweet: talent is common, but only a few of y’all can survive being told to do it again.

Quincy always talks like he discovered discipline, but he really just survived more egos than the rest of us.

Frank, you sang every lyric like it had to pay rent, and Quincy still made it sound expensive.

Says the man who treated every session like a court hearing and every trumpet like it owed him money.

Mike, you asked for perfection, then got offended when I brought a stopwatch and a receipt.
