Anyone who gives a shit about any music written in the last 60 years should see this as essential reading. Stop what you're doing now - you'll be glad you did.
After 20 years of reading about music, these are by far the best interviews I have ever read.

One of the best producers ever, but he lost me at 'what's your sign'. If he believes such bullshit, he's not someone whose word I'd take... having said that, I like what he said about Catholicism :p

Interesting interview. I knew Q was full of himself, but he really does enjoy namedropping a lot...
MJ was a nutbag....old news.
Kennedy....interesting, but a bit sensationalistic.
Beatles....yeah look at me, i am dissing the biggest band in the world, aren't i interesting?
He dated Ivanka? That's a bit creepy as she was in her early twenties and he was in his early 70's? (He's 84).

He says he dates women between 24 and 48, which means he's 36-60 years their senior anyway...

Your point? :D

He's already admitted being a bit of a cradle robber (to put it mildly), so it's no surprise he got involved with her.

Nah, you can't discredit his history and wisdom because he subscribes to a bit of astrology. Most people do.

He did a session in 1963, and they were not good musicians by that point. He was used to the top studio cats in the jazz world. So maybe in his experience they really were the worst musicians he ever worked with. The Beatles would be the first to tell you that they weren't great players. Even at their best they couldn't read a chart and play for Sinatra.
That said - perhaps Quincy doesn't realize how lucky he is that he didn't have to record the Sex Pistols or Ratt.

Of course I can. It'd be wrong to do so, but of course I can. He's very wise as a producer, but I wouldn't take any life advice from someone who believes such nonsense.

Beatles are considered the best Rock band of all time for their ability as songwriters. Everyone knows they weren't the greatest musicians.

That would have been great if Q said Jackson was heavily influenced by Hot Space....I do agree though that Jackson was overrated. I always said that.

What he says about her mother having dementia praecox that could have been cured with vitamin B is inaccurate. Maybe one of the causes of her dementia was lack of nutrition because of her poverty, especially vitamin B complex that helps the nervous system, but could not have been the only cause and much less the cure, dementia is irreversible. I work in a nursing home as a nurse, and I can say that we are living longer only to succumb to dementia. I rather die younger.

You're doing yourself a bigger favour if you watch Chuck Berry's sextape.

Quincy Jones is one of the most popular legendary jazz musicians for me.
