Editorial Review:
Everything you love about American popular culture is Quincy Jones. As an artist and impresario Quincy Jones has been the creative catalyst for over 50 years of American cultural phenomena orchestrating the sounds of Frank Sinatra, setting the ambiance for Steven Spielberg, cultivating the talent of Michael Jackson, and introducing the world Oprah Winfrey and Will Smith--to name a few. The Complete Quincy Jones examines the diverse virtuosity of Quincy Jones, celebrating his prolific contribution to American art and culture. Comprised of personal interviews and recollections with Jones, this collection peers behind the veil of
celebrity, with extraordinary access to his creative inspirations and labors. Through private notebooks, correspondence, and photographs Jones offers unprecedented introspection into the depths of his creativity and the histories of his ventures. From the volumes of his memorabilia, Jones emerges as a contemplative and dynamic maestro, thriving on intuition and ceaselessly pursuing the soul of his art.

The Complete Quincy Jones: My Journey & Passions: Photos, Letters, Memories & More from Q’s Personal Collection Reviews:
Quincy Jones is a legend! 5 Star Review
2009-08-06 - I do admire the man and his genius work. But the truth that I bough this book because of Michael Jackson. There was part that Quincy recalled about the making of Thriller and his time with Michael Jackson. Also, the story behind "We Are The World". Thank you Quincy for bringing out the best of Michael Jackson and many other artists.

Unbelievably amazing! 5 Star Review
2009-06-23 - I purchased this book with a birthday present gift card. It is beyond fabulous. The personal memorabilia that he has placed in the book is reproduced so well, that it seems like you actually have the real things at your disposal. I was so excited when I purchased the book and I was not disappointed at all. I am a great admirer of Mr. Jones because he is not only a musician and producer, but also, a composer and arranger. He defies stereotypes for African American musicians, yet he is quintessentially African American. He has embraced and arranged/composed for all musical mediums. He has no limits to his reach and creativity. I have several biographies on musicians and this is by far the best one. The combination of pictures, writing, and memorabilia help to create an "experience" that goes beyond just reading a bio, or just looking at a coffee table book. I highly recommend the book to all fans of Quincy Jones, and to those who want to get a glimpse of how he collaborated with musicians and entertainers across all genres. I would also recommend the book to young musicians who aspire to greatness, they can get a glimpse of how great a life a musician and a committed humanitarian can have. "Q" is most definitely an American Icon and a national treasure.

fantastic 5 Star Review
2009-04-06 - Fantastic book. What an amazing man. All the little extras really make it feel like his own personal scrapbook.

The Complete Q 5 Star Review
2009-03-26 - The history here is incredible! If you know of and love Quincy jones you will love this book.

Fantastic history of Q 5 Star Review
2009-02-09 - This book is the most complete rewind of Quincy Jones' life I have seen. Every page has some tidbit of information that the average person didn't know. The photos are awesome. Apparently this man knows everyone as the pictures, letters and stories tell about in detail. Any music fan should have this because it is not just Q's history but music's history as well.
