from Oannes *

Η συνεργασία του Quincy Jones με καλλιτέχνες όπως οι Jackson και Sinatra αποτελεί φυσικά την κορυφή του παγόβουνου μιας καριέρας με διάρκεια μεγαλύτερη του μισού αιώνα. Θα ακούσουμε κάποια στιγμιότυπά της, ξεκινώντας με τη μουσική των τίτλων για την αστυνομική ταινία του 1970 ‘They Call Me Mr. Tibbs’ – σκηνοθεσία Gordon Douglas, πρωτ. Sidney Poitier, Martin Landau, Barbara Mcnair. Ο κορυφαίος παραγωγός, ενορχηστρωτής και συνθέτης πέθανε χτες σε ηλικία 91 έτους.

✻

Quincy Jones’ work with artists like Jackson and Sinatra is of course the tip of the iceberg in a career spanning more than half a century. We’ll hear some snapshots, starting with the main theme for the 1970 crime film ‘They Call Me Mr. Tibbs’ – directed by Gordon Douglas, starring Sidney Poitier, Martin Landau, Barbara Mcnair. The legendary producer, arranger and composer died yesterday at the age of 91.
