DVD Reviews of Listen Up!: The Lives of Quincy Jones
DVD Review: Amazing documentary!
Summary: 5 Stars
The cool cat with nine lives is music legend Quincy Jones.
From humble beginnings on rough streets to icon status on Fifty-Second Street, Jones takes us back to the beginning and SHOWS us (doesn't just TELL us) his life story in this lush, musical and incredibly creative documentary. Flmmaker Ellen Wiesbrod gets so close to Quincy Jones, capturing so many moods and rememberances, that you can almost hear him think and breathe and grieve. Like great jazz, the film itself jumps with raw energy. One of the most creative pieces of moviemaking I've watched in a long time--and it's a decade old! Well worth digging up the VHS player to experience. Five stars.
