12 Notes

On Life and Creativity

By: Quincy Jones

Narrated by: JD Jackson, Quincy Jones

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.

For Creatives Struggling With Severe Trauma

I'm a creative professional struggling with recent and severe traumatic events that will take at least half a decade to heal. This book helped provide me with some comfort during my battle with extreme depression. I'll often find myself completely frozen in time, reliving the events that lead me here. Being emotionally and creatively paralyzed is terrifying and crippling, personally and professionally. This audio book's performance is excellent, and the content has helped me cope.

The Great Mr. Quincy Jones!!

I am ecstatic to listen and learn from Mr. Quincy Jones! His achievements are just that-- achievements! But the life and creative philosophies were unique and timeless. No matter the cost, he seemed to cultivate love in every interaction. Unparalleled! As soon as it was over, I was thinking about listening again.

I had always heard of Quincy Jones but I had never really wanted to learn more about him. That is until I came across this book and took the time to listen to the words of this incredible person! The book is absolutely beaming with nuggets of wisdom and insight that can only be told from a man that has done as much as Jones has. This book is especially great if you are an artist or someone who is exploring that side of them more. It is also an awesome read for someone who is trying to become more by learning more. Overall, this book is a gem!
