Q: The Autobiography of Quincy Jones

For the 2013 Spring Phase term, the students of Songwriting, sequencing, and soundtracks were given a copy of "Q: The Autobiography of Quincy Jones".  It tells about how difficult his early childhood was when his mother left him due to mental illness. It also speaks of how difficult it was with Elvera, his stepmother and how she neglected and humiliated Quincy.  It tells of how he ran with other gangs and stole from anywhere for survival. He was homeless, and music was his only escape.  I am looking forward to finding out what happens next.
