Lesley Gore ("It's My Party"--yes, it's true) and Michael Jackson (Thriller) to Ray Charles and Frank Sinatra; and arranging and producing the mega-anthem "We Are the World." Working in every style from jazz to hip-hop, Jones has also composed scores for countless movies and TV shows. Combining interviews, photos, and film clips, Quincy Jones: In the Pocket manages to address all of these facets of Jones's work, while also documenting his two failed marriages, an aneurysm, a nervous breakdown, and other lowlights of his personal life. Narrated by Harry Belafonte, the program features many luminaries celebrating the life and work of one of the most prolific and respected musicians of our time. Recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (S. Graham)
