There’s a Quincy Jones album of four tunes where he both plays and produces four tunes with Bill Cosby on piano. If you get a chances to listen to this gem it’s fascinating.
Godspeed Quincy Jones Godspeed
Even as a kid in New Zealand, you knew this man's name. If I was asked back then I would have said something like, we know about him because he's doing important work for the artists. You knew or sensed he was also of respected talent. This was lovely, hopefully you have the full interview or about to? 🙂
