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.

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

Everyone should listen to this book

This book is hard to listen sometimes. Because it makes you feel pain.

I thought it was more about his history.

But his history was very though, very though.

But you will learn a lot from this book.

It's a book of lessons that you can apply to your life. To make it better.

He is correct.

Because when I was having problems understanding something or having problems finding a solution for a difficult problem with programming.

I always did do puzzles after my meal. If I didn't have any space. I did so some Tetris or something like that on my cellphone.

It always helped me to find a solution easier.

My parents always thought the least of me about work and where I would be today.

At least I did listen to them. Because I would not have done much.

Today they do not know what to say.

My brother did go to the best schools. Me I did go to the regular ones.

I did achieved more than him until now.

I really liked this book. So much knowledge.

You should really start listening to it soon.

The last note was too much. So I just skipped and press a button to say that I did finish the book.

Q opens up, so you must listen

“Life is a beautiful responsibility, but it is also a beautiful burden!” “Approach creativity with humility, and respond to success with grace.” Everyone should listen to this audiobook! For musicians and aspiring musicians, add this to your MUST READ list! All music schools SHOULD recommend this! This is THE MUSICIAN’S MANUAL BOOK!

The narrator did a fantastic job - cool, calm, collected! It felt like it was Q talking right beside you!

Inspiring recollections from a tremendous career.

Quincy Jones has had a tremendous career as artist, producer, and entertainment businessman. This is a personable recollection of his life that speaks to inspiration, creativity, and confidence.

This is worth your time if you are a musician or any kind of artist. The work is centering and inspiring. Jones is firmly focused on business success without sacrificing artistic integrity. This is a very hard working man!
