Quincy Jones, one of the worlds most beloved musicians, producers, and mentors, turns 87 years old this year, and yet he'd be the first to tell you he's far from finished. How does he keep going at an age when most people would be well into retirement? From where does he draw the seemingly endless inspiration that keeps him pursuing creativity at such a high level?

12 NOTES is a self-development guide that will affirm that creativity is a calling that can and should be answered no matter what age you are. Drawing from his own life, and those of his MANY creative collaborators - past and present - readers will learn lessons, both philosophical, such as how to transform grief into power, as well as digestible, practical reminders such as the value of setting goalposts and articulating intentions via daily affirmations. Quincy finally shares his own process with readers so they understand the importance of letting honesty, hard work, and good relationships, not ego, drive your career.
