Quincy Jones on being mentor of the year.
A creative force in American popular culture, Quincy Jones developed a passion for the trumpet in elementary school and had a vocal quartet at age 10. As a teen in the Seattle area, he played jazz clubs with the slightly older Ray Charles and got his break with Lionel Hampton. On the road to winning more than two dozen Grammys, he's worked with the who's who of entertainment. He's also branched out into movies, TV series and publishing. The Complete Quincy Jones celebrates his contribution to American art.
