Turntablist and DJ Jordan “Madhatter” Lee discovered Quincy Jones through Hip Hop — the Pharcyde’s, “Passing Me By” sampling Quincy’s, “Summer In The City,” Notorious B.I.G.’s, “Unbelievable” sampling Quincy’s, “Kitty With The Bent Frame and” Tupac Shakur’s, “Guess Who’s Back” sampling Quincy’s theme to Ironsides. This led Jordan deeper into Jones’ legacy. As producer, conductor, arranger and composer, Quincy Jones shaped the work of Michael Jackson, Lionel Hampton, Dizzy Gillespie, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Duke Ellington and Miles Davis, to name just a few. He has been nominated for a record 79 Grammys — and won 27. Jordan Lee heads a musical juggernaut, including Dave Wake, Klassik, and members of the Rusty Ps and De La Buena, into the past sixty years of American music and the man who was at its center.
