Kakki What a fantastically wonderful idea! Do you think there is any possibility that this could happen? I would be thrilled beyond measure if it did. I have a tremendous love and respect for Quincy Jones and all the wonderful music he has put out during the span of his career. He too has never been afraid to try different and sometimes controversial musical styles. I respect him immensely for recognizing the art which lies in every form of music, no matter how offbeat. During his early years, if I am correct, Bebop was considered sacrilege to the jazz world, and now, it is accepted as not only a standard, but as one of the mainstays of jazz music. He dared, like Joni, to step out and try something new. Sherelle NPIMH-Killer Joe
