Throughout his storied career, Quincy Jones has collaborated
with the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles and
Michael Jackson, while racking up scores of accolades: 27 Grammys (from
79 nominations), seven Academy Award nominations, 11 Tony nominations,
an Emmy and a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
In an interview with Jian Ghomeshi, Jones talks about his musical past and most vivid memories, including how he went from "baby gangster" to musical great, a deathbed gift from Duke Ellington, and how a near-death experience left him with only one fear.
