So much to say about QUINCY JONES, if you want to do justice, much to add, nothing to subtract. His music reached and touched a lot of people. Here’s some memorabilia from my son :  https://www.facebook.com/nathan.hamelbergNathan Hamelberg

 Here is a picture of my aunt Åsa and my mother when they just left high school, they were interviewed by Bang about life. One thing that immediately caught my eye was that life in the dull suburb is enlivened up by jazz - Åsa holding Quincy Jones' record "The Great Wide World of... ”

When I discovered Quincy Jones myself beyond "We Are The World" and the records he produced for Michael Jackson, it was his soundtracks from the 1960s and 1970s, the jazz funk. all that majestically cool that hip hop producers drooled over in the early 1990's, The Pawnbroker, Ironside, In Cold Blood, In the Heat of the Night, The Last Man, They Call Me Mister Tibbs, You Got It Bad Girl etc. It took a long time before I really understood that "The World" for Quincy, wide or not, actually began in Sweden as far as record recordings were concerned, with stone cakes like "Quincy Jones Swedish - American All Stars" and "Harry Arnold - Quincy Jones Big Band" in the mid-1950s.

I have always been fascinated by everything and everyone who has made the small world in Sweden feel bigger, all Toots Thielemans Bob Marley Cyndee Peters Henry Gibson etc., and if you want to summarise the twentieth century, Quincy Jones is probably the greatest who settled down here. Now he is no more, but his music still makes the world great. My thoughts go out to QDIII. RIP Quincy Jones #quincyjones #restinpower #rip
