Quincy Jones Interview

Really, "Strawberry Champagne" is a trifle song that reflect the current state and lack of creativity in the music business. It out right sucks! He calls this stuff good?

Bruno Mars is nothing special. There, I said it again. And, if he thinks he is it makes me question his judgement.

Buddy Holly: "Jazz is strictly for the stay-at-homes."

Ringo Starr was considered by some (many? most?) to be the worst musician in The Beatles (not true; John was ;-), yet he had a fair number of defenders who were themselves well respected by their Jazz peers. One such was Gregg Bissonnette, the drummer in Maynard Ferguson’s Big Band, who is one of Ringo’s most vocal defenders. Some people get, some don’t.
