Quincy Jones brought me here.. " Music is fascinating. You can't touch it, you can't taste it, you cant smell it, you can't see it.. you just feel it. " Quincy Jones Quincy toured with Lionel's band as a mere teen. 🎉

This band was rough. Definitely not polished like Basie or Ellington. This was still very entertaining though. And to see Hamp just explore everything is priceless.

[@monacofranze1238]
