"If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, that's not progress. If you pull it all the way out, that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. They haven't pulled the knife out; they won't even admit that it's there." —Malcolm X

R.I.P. Quincy Jones, March 14, 1933 — November 3, 2024. Here he is in the studio with Herbie Hancock in 1984.

Quincy Jones’ album “Gula Matari” is a bold fusion of jazz, funk, and African rhythms. Each piece pushes boundaries, with soaring solos and lush grooves. A 1970 classic that still inspires. Rest In Peace Q! #Jazz #QuincyJones #MusicInnovation #RIPQ

If you attended a predominantly Black kindergarten, middle school, or high school in the early 1990s, there is a large chance that your class sang “Tomorrow” at graduation. The nostalgia. 🥹 There is very little in American music that has been untouched by Quincy Jones. RIP. 💔
