The Beatles weren't very good musicians when he met them, Hendrix was scared to play with top echelon jazz musicians, Micheal Jackson didn't share credit easily and modern pop production is unimaginative. Jones has been a major player for at least the past 50 years. You got to respect that.

Hendrix played a helluva hot axe, but Quincy was more of a producer than performer. I thought of Prince as the successor to Hendrix's brilliance of speed and ingenuity. JMHO
