About This Item
20 CDs, 406 tracks, 22 hours of music presented inside a 44-page hardcover book. Perhaps no other artist has had a wider influence on music, on other musicians, on Culture, as Quincy Jones. He has more Grammy nominations and awards than anyone on the planet, and when you look at his monumental body of work, it's easy to understand why he's touched such a broad audience of music lovers.
