Una leyenda cuyo legado vivirá eternamente. D.E.P. Quincy Jones.
Vaya que pena. 91 años ya firmaba! DEP
Se va una gran leyenda de la música contemporánea.
DEP... Feliz cambio de dirección cósmica.
Ahí queda. En el cielo de las mesas de mezclas.
Me he guardado esto para ponerlo aquí, que siempre dura más que en la portada...

10 Takeaways Quincy Jones would hammer home throughout the years I’d run into him.
1. The importance of connecting to people (scoring/songwriting/business ventures) your song/message/product HAS to give goosebumps.
2. “You can’t polish doo-doo”——the best singer can’t save a bad song. The most limited singer often make hit songs because limited musicians serve the song & virtuosos tend to let their ego show off too much. The song must resonate
3. Always record your music when your musicians are tired from 10pm-5am you’ll get the best results because Theta brainwaves are subconscious ———always use the “non overthinking” hours to let the magic in
4. My contact list is my most important instrument
5. The importance of sequencing albums & shows——know how to balance your strong material to your more experimental material.
6. Never look down on the generation that’s ahead of you. Never neglect the creations of the generations in your rear view mirror.
7. Study & master all arenas of creativity
8. You are never too old to achieve a new plateau or goal
9. Edit edit edit Less Is More
10. Pay it forward to the next person.
