More quotes by Quincy Jones
After every war, there was a significant change in the music, and I can understand how that happened. If you participate in protecting the country, you think you can be part of it, but you come back home and it's worse than ever.
Quincy Jones
Eight kids and a stepmother, and I just wanted to be out of there and so when I got a scholarship from Boston to the Schillinger House, which is now the Berklee School of Music, I couldn't wait to get out of there.
Quincy Jones
You have to know that your real home is within.
Quincy Jones
A great song can make a terrible singer sound good, but a good singer - you put a great song on top of that, you're really in great shape!
Quincy Jones
I got to trumpet, finally. That's why I love to write for brass, and [Count] Basie and [Frank] Sinatra and all that stuff, 'cause that's just like part of my DNA.
Quincy Jones
A person's age can be determined by the degree of pain he experiences when he comes in contact with a new idea.
Quincy Jones
Let's not get too full of ourselves. Let's leave space for God to come into the room.
Quincy Jones
I've always thought that a big laugh is a really loud noise from the soul saying, Ain't that the truth.
Quincy Jones
Young people should travel, and they don’t. You can’t know if you don’t go.
Quincy Jones
Music in movies is all about dissonance and consonance, tension and release.
Quincy Jones
Hell, nobody knows where jazz is going to go. There may be a kid right now in Chitlin Switch, Georgia, who is going to come along and upset everybody.
Quincy Jones
Benny [Carter] opened the eyes of a lot of producers and studios, so that they could understand that you could go to blacks for other things outside of blues and barbecue. He's a total musician. He was the pioneer, he was the foundation. He made it possible for that doubt to be taken away.
Quincy Jones
They say a blind hog will find the acorn one day.
Quincy Jones
We got into all the trouble you could ever imagine. We figured that if the Jones boys and all the gangsters ran Chicago, we had our own territory now. All the stores, all the crime, we were in charge of everything, my stepbrother and my brother.
Quincy Jones
It's easy to get next to music theory, especially between your peers and music classes and so forth. You just pay attention. I had a good ear, so I realized that printed music was just about reminding you what to play.
Quincy Jones
The only music I don't like is bad music.
Quincy Jones
When I was about five or seven years old my mother was placed in a mental institution and so we were with our father who worked very hard, and we had to figure a lot of things out.
Quincy Jones
I'm a great believer in letting lyrics just flow out, wherever they come from.
Quincy Jones
To me it's no accident that all the symphony orchestras around the world tune up to the note A. And A is 440 cycles, except in Germany where it's 444. But the universe is 450 cycles. So what I'm trying to say is, I think it's God's voice, melody especially. Counterpoint, retrograde inversion, harmony... that's the science and the craft.
Quincy Jones
I'm just a musician and a record producer.
