Quincy Jones, who passed away in November at the age of 91, was a peerless figure in popular music. As World Cafe correspondent John Morrison says, his impact cannot be overstated.
“You can really trace the history of American popular music — especially post-World War II, you can trace this story through his contributions, in particular,” he says.
In this edition of The Culture Corner, Morrison takes us through some of that story, digging into some of Quincy Jones’ work in jazz, pop and film score.
