LISTEN UP (PG)

A unique look at the legendary musician, arranger, composer and producer. First there will be a Quincy Jones documentary offering a collage of memories, sounds and intimate interviews with musical greats in a rousing showcase.

The filmmakers have looked unblinkingly at both happy and sad times, and some of the most poignant moments come as Quincys oldest daughter, Jolie Jones, talks quietly about her father. Many others who rarely talk for documentaries, talk here: Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles and even the shy Michael Jackson. Jones became the first black composer to score for mainstream films (In Cold Blood) and has produced for musicians as varied as Ella Fitzgerald, Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand and rapper Kool Moe Dee..

His extensive international credits speak to his highest regard in the music world.
