FROM BE BOP TO HIP HOP WITH QUINCY JONES
The Legend's Own Q's-eye View into the History of Music

Conceived, written, and hosted by Q himself, this extraordinary project chronologically walks listeners through the timeline of contemporary music — from the '30s on — from Jones' perspective, uniquely voiced in his own eloquent words.

True music royalty, living legend Quincy Jones has worked with a Who's Who of performance greats for over half a century, and received more accolades than just about anyone in entertainment. XM's seven part mini-series event marks the first time Quincy shares, in a broadcast forum, the private stories behind his remarkable career. It's an important oral history generously interspersed with vintage interviews, rare sound bites, and musical interludes, many from Jones' personal archives.
