About this listen

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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

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.

I’ve not listened to or read a book previously where I simply did not want to stop listening or reading it.

Quincy gives us real insight into his life, into his history & the trials and tribulations he went through that made him who he is today. And also the principles he followed and follows throughout his life.

What an absolutely magnificent work of art he left us in the form of this book as well as all the other amazing works of art he’s created.

This book is beyond ratings. It’s simply in a class of its own…

Captivating, Real and Relatable…
