Een Old Friend was Quincy Jones ook voor Emily Bear. Quincy bezocht Emily thuis toen ze 8 jaar oud was en vanaf die tijd gedroeg hij zich als een soort opa van het meisje. Hij voelde gelijk de verwantschap in de muziek en inspireerde hem. Beide trokken de hele wereld over voor TV programma's, concerten en festivals, waar onder Montreox Jazz festival, Hollywood Bowl, Peralada in Spanje enz. Er zijn vele video's en afbeeldingen te vi=den van het duo. Emily Bear Quincy Jones
Quote from Quincy Jones about Emily Bear at age 9. Is another Quincy album coming? Quincy: Then there's Emily Bear; President Obama calls her "Baby Mozart." She's been writing for symphonies since she was 5 and also plays bossa nova and the blues. She sings "Celie's Blues" from "Color Purple," anything. When we first met her, her feet wouldn't even touch the floor. She just did a concert at Carnegie Hall with a choir and a symphony orchestra. She’s the most delightful human being I’ve ever met in my life. And her music is the same way. I am at once astounded and inspired by the enormous talent that Emily embodies. With the ability to seamlessly move from Classical to Jazz and Be-bop, she shows as much musical prowess as pianists/composers twice her age, and I am thrilled to be working with her. She’s astounding, man … she’s astounding. She plays like she’s 40 years old. She is the complete 360-degree package, and there are no limits to the musical heights she can reach.” - Quincy Jones
