Publisher's Summary
Wisdom and musings on creativity and life from one of the world’s most beloved musicians, producers, and mentors, Quincy Jones.
12 Notes is a self-development guide that will affirm that creativity is a calling that can and should be answered, no matter your age or experience. Drawing from his own life, and those of his many creative collaborators past and present, Quincy Jones presents listeners with lessons that are hardworking and accessible, yet speak to the passion of self-expression. He includes sections as deep as how to transform grief into power, and as practical as how to set goals and articulate intentions through daily affirmations. Weaving his story throughout, Jones lets listeners in on his own creative process, as well as the importance of letting honesty, hard work, and good relationships drive your career.

I lived these notes with Quincy
I have heard and learned from and live a better life from each note of this book. Since 1973, I have witnessed Quincy's veracity and greatness as a man, a mentor, a producer and best of all as a friend. Meeting Quincy was in the stars for me as the philosophies he lives and shares with us here is a faithful continuation of life lessons I gleaned from my Dad...the only man who has had more influence on me. Quincy's humanity and spiritual generosity is massive and bottomless. His empathy is immeasurable as is his quest to learn something new every day...12 Notes brings me back to those enlightening moments when Quincy, in just a few words. (quite often wrapped in humor) has changed and enriched, injected humor and shined a new light on the courses of my life. His words give me hope or challenge me to find a new path and the courage to be myself. I love you, Q, and no words can express how happy it makes me to see these precious words and stories are now being shared with the world. Thank you sounds too tame as to how grateful I am for you...Tommy Bahler.

A self told celebration of a blessed life.
How does one speak of a memory that included having Picasso as a neighbor and not sound boastful? Mr. Quincy Jones gives us pearls of wisdom from a perspective of gratitude. D sharp is my favorite "Note" in the book and I really have to work on F sharp. Thank you for sharing your insight and wisdom Mr. Jones. What a life!

Life changing
This is a must have for any human being. Quincy Jones is an amazing individual whom have literally lived and continue to live his life’s fullest potential. The book is beautifully portraying all his life’s lessons and what made him become who he is. The story is also written in a very joyful and entertaining way, which makes it captivating from the get-go to the very end.

Great Life Lessons
If you know Quincy Jones you know he has something important to say and he says it well in his book! As he tells his story you visually get a glimpse of his life and you feel the experiences and you know his advice is coming from a good place. When he published his book he was 89 years old and full of life lessons that we should all listen to. I’m thankful I brought this book because it’s a harsh reminder that life is short live it as best you can and avoid unnecessary mistakes or regrets. He gracefully reminds us all to live our best life as best we can.Thank you Quincy Jones!

7 children.. really?
I liked a lot of this book. Some good lessons. Stunning career! I have a hard time getting past someone boasting about have 7 kids. Not something to be proud of, but ashamed of.. disappointing.

Awesome and amazing shared wisdom
I loved listening to this audio, to date this has been the most enlightening ( to me ) of this time about life lessons seen and unseen. I have always respected Quincy Jones before, but, OM ghosh in my opinion he is the most amazing super musical genius of all times. This has been such a beautiful rhythmic listen and ongoing shared nuggets of wisdom. How genius was it to use the title of the 12 notes of life and creativity. Thank you soo much Sir Quincy Jones….Musical legend.
Loved it; Loved it; Loved it.
