Podcast appearances and mentions of Quincy Jones

The Addicted Mind Podcast: How a Little Becomes a Lot with Eric ZimmerIn this episode, Duane welcomes back Eric Zimmer, host of The One You Feed podcast, behavior coach, and author of the new book, How a Little Becomes a Lot: The Art of Small Changes for a More Meaningful Life.Eric shares his profound journey from being a homeless heroin addict facing 50 years in prison to building a deeply meaningful life in long-term recovery. Together, Duane and Eric break down why massive life transformations don't happen overnight, but are instead built on thousands of microscopic daily decisions. They explore how to navigate behavioral "choice points," overcome the trap of perfectionism, and beautifully balance the duality of acceptance and change.Key Takeaways from the EpisodeThe Fallacy of the "Big Moment": While "moments of clarity" are real and pivotal, they only matter if they are backed up by small, daily actions over time.Change is a Skill: Struggling to change a habit is not a character flaw or a sign of laziness; it is a skill set that must be practiced and learned.The Autopilot Pitfall: Many of our worst habits occur completely outside of our conscious awareness. Learning to slow down and introduce deliberation is key to making better choices.The 80% Rule: Except for active substance addiction, striving for 80% consistency in life (exercise, meditation, healthy eating) protects you from the self-sabotage of perfectionism.Puzzles Over Problems: Shifting your perspective from "I have a problem" to "I have a puzzle" opens the door to curiosity and solutions rather than shame.In-Depth Discussion TopicsAt 24 years old, Eric was a homeless heroin addict, weighing 100 pounds, jaundiced from Hepatitis C, and facing severe prison time. When he finally agreed to long-term treatment, it wasn't his first attempt. Eric explains how his previous "failures" to stay clean were actually an essential part of his learning process.Mastering "Choice Points"A choice point is that exact split-second where you either move toward your best self or fall back into old behaviors. Eric notes that relying purely on willpower at a choice point is a losing game. Instead, behavior change requires two distinct layers:Structural Elements: This includes your support system, clear protocols, accountability partners, and removing triggers from your environment.In-the-Moment Skills: This involves recognizing self-doubt, slowing down the urge, and learning how to "trick" yourself into taking action by shrinking the task (e.g., just putting on your running shoes to walk to the mailbox)."The music producer Quincy Jones has this line, and I love it. He says, 'I don't have problems, I have puzzles.' There's a shift in there that's really important, because a puzzle has a solution. It has an answer. We just haven't figured it out yet." — Eric ZimmerMoving Beyond the Self-Improvement ProjectThe episode wraps up with a deep dive into the final chapters of Eric's book, focusing on presence and radical acceptance. While it seems counterintuitive for a book about behavior change to end on "allowing everything to be exactly as it is," Eric explains that treating your life as a non-stop self-improvement project strips away contentment. True healing happens when we can skillfully change what we can, while holding space for our pain, low moods, and current realities without judgment.Framework: The 80% Rule vs. The Perfection MindsetThe Perfection MindsetThe 80% Consistency FrameworkViews every slip-up as a total failure.Views slip-ups as temporary data points and "puzzle pieces."Relies heavily on high motivation and intense willpower.Relies on structural support, habits, and reducing friction.Leads to burnout, self-sabotage, and quitting.Leads to long-term, sustainable lifestyle changes."If I can't do it perfectly, why bother?""If I can just hit 80% consistency over a year, I'm winning."Resources Mentioned in this EpisodeEric Zimmer's Website: oneyoufeed.net (Find his podcast, behavior coaching program, and new book)Eric's Book:How a Little Becomes a Lot: The Art of Small Changes for a More Meaningful Life – A Guide to Lasting Transformation Through Behavioral Science and WisdomThe Addicted Mind Website: theaddictedmind.comFollow and Review: We'd love it even more if you could drop a review or 5-star rating over on Apple Podcasts.

‘Graceland' was an almighty gamble for Paul Simon, a costly, high-risk departure from the music he'd been making and a complex international venture. And a game-changing, worldwide triumph. When Ashley Kahn taught a course about it at New York University, Simon turned up to contribute. His book ‘Days Of Miracle And Wonder' tells the story of what inspired the album, the way it was recorded and the global reaction when it arrived in 1986. We talk to him here about … … the bootleg cassette of township jive that inspired the Graceland project … fraying relations with Art Garfunkel and Carrie Fisher ... his habit of playing unfinished tracks to people – David Byrne, Philip Glass, Neil Diamond – while singing the vocal into their ear … the extraordinary way he apologised for the failure of One Trick Pony … how Bakithi Kumalo's bass solo on You Can Call Me Al is a palindrome – “first half forwards, second half reversed!” … the advice Quincy Jones gave him about South Africa's cultural boycott … the key role of Roy Halee, engineer and long-time creative collaborator ... the Johannesburg sessions that “started with rhythm and worked backwards” … Kind Of Blue, A Love Supreme, other albums that merit a book to themselves … the details you hear in the tracks' last seconds … and the Grammy telecast that cemented the album's US success.

John “JR” Robinson is one of the best and maybe the most recorded drummer of the modern era. His Bio is out of this world. You definitely know his playing, because he's played on just about every song ever recorded. Here's just a couple. He's the guy who played that legendary drum fill in Michael Jackson's "Rock With You" from “Off The Wall”, the spectacular intro to Steve Winwood's No. 1 hit, "Higher Love" from “Back In The High Life”, and he was the drummer on “We Are The World”.  In total he's played on over 10,000 recording sessions, 500 movie and television soundtracks, 30 No. 1 hit records, and 50 Grammy winners. He's been named one of Rolling Stone's "Top 100 Drummers of All Time". And he's worked with a Who's Who in music including Quincy Jones, Ray Charles, Chaka Khan, Lady Gaga, Peter Frampton, George Benson, Elton John, Madonna, Marvin Hamlisch, and Barbra Streisand, to name just a few. And he's written a biography called “King Of The Groove”. My featured song is “The Rich Ones All Stars”, my recent single.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comDavid Marchese has spent the past decade interviewing famous people, from Quincy Jones to Nicolas Cage. He is co-host of “The Interview,” the New York Times Q&A series, and before that, he interviewed bold-faced names for Vulture and NYT Magazine. But he doesn't see his job as “interviewing celebrities” — at least, that's what he says after his old pal Sarah introduces him as such. It's true that Marchese interviews all sorts of people, from author Michael Pollan to happiness expert Laurie Santos. But fame — and its excesses, contradictions, and illusions — is the backdrop for many of his best-known conversations, and it's the launchpad here for a chat about collective experiences, how to ask better questions, how journalism has changed since the days of Playboy, and why discomfort might be a key ingredient to a great interview. NOTE: This is an audio-only episode! Also discussed …As well as:* Sarah sees an advantage to David being “deeply Canadian” * “Celebrity is the coin of the realm.” Or is it?* Nicolas Cage … inspired by Gumby?* Jim Jarmusch did not do interviews that lasted less than an hour* Editor burnout is real* Adam Moss, genius* Friend o' the pod David Rensin and his dozens of Playboy interviews* Age is an undervalued asset in celebrity interviews* Denzel Washington, Nicole Kidman, Edward Norton, Anthony Hopkins* Interviewing as surgery and when to put down the knife* Sarah is still waiting on that mixed tape David promised in 2008Plus: David quotes Ezra Pound, Joyce Carol Oates and Elmore Leonard, what Clive James got right about Americans and fame, and much more!After the paywall: “Which celebrity interview was the most uncomfortable?”We're trying to ask better questions.

One of the most famous names in watch circles, Octavio Garcia is today the Creative Director for Gerald Charles. Previously, the American-born designer was Creative Director for Audemars Piguet during the all-important brand-building period from 2002-2015. Responsible for some of the most ground-breaking and sought after Royal Oak Offshore designs, including the famed series inspired by Formula 1 drivers such as Juan Pablo Montoya and Rubens Barichello as well as expanding the Millenary collection with extraordinary creations such as the Pianoforte, inspired by and paying homage to Quincy Jones.  Join us as we take a deep dive and discuss the extraordinary career of the Chicago-born designer. From the earlier days working with Jean-Claude Biver to the most logical step in creating his own brand, Gorilla Watches. Finally to today, and possibly the most natural progression, taking on design responsibilities for the brand created by the Maestro himself, Gérald Charles Genta, the designer who gave the world the Royal Oak for Audemars Piguet and the Nautilus for Patek Philippe as well as the Ingenieur for IWC and countless other enduring designs. Today the "Maestro" case design, penned by the late designer himself in the early 2000's, is like a gift to the talented Octavio Garcia. The unique and charismatic case provides a inviting challenge for creative design. Listen in as we discuss the latest creation unveiled at Watches and Wonders, a world first Perpetual Calendar with asymetrical movement, which perfectly compliments the unique shape of the Maestro case for an ideally balanced design. Listen in as we learn about the intricacies of the design's layout and the truly unique approach to the movement layout itself.  This unique episode provides a wonderful window into the creative approach and inspiration that drives Octavio Garcia as he continues to pen the incredible designs that will delight and provide timeless watches for today and generations in the future.  Thank you, as always, for downloading and listening to Keeping Time Podcast.

We were supposed to talk about Deacon King Kong. We did not.    When Jen sat down with Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist James McBride to discuss the Jen Hatmaker Book Club's May selection, the conversation took a hard left turn into something far richer — a wide-ranging tour through one of the most remarkable lives in American letters.    James opens up about a scrappy and troubled adolescence in Brooklyn, getting straightened out in the heat of the Louisville, Kentucky summers, and the music that quite literally saved him. He reminisces about touring Europe as a young musician and playing saxophone alongside Stevie Ray Vaughan at Antone's in Austin, traveling with Michael Jackson on the Victory Tour as a young journalist, surviving the Boston Globe's newsroom in the 1980s, writing songs for Anita Baker and Grover Washington, working with Quincy Jones, and getting dressed down by Harry Belafonte in a writers' room. Along the way, he reflects on race, art, faith, forgiveness, music, storytelling, old cars, and why the best writers are simply the people paying closest attention. He also shares what gives him hope about America right now — and it might surprise you.   Of course, we touch on Deacon King Kong—its unforgettable characters, humor, and heart—but this conversation became something even bigger: a portrait of the life experiences that shaped the storyteller behind the book.   Come for the book club discussion. Stay for one of the most fascinating conversations Jen has had in a long time.   Oh, and Deacon King Kong is a masterpiece.

On this episode of Lyrics of Their Life, we delve deep into the story behind one of the darkest but greatest pop tracks of all time: Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean."Come with me behind the scenes of a grueling recording process that saw Quincy Jones and Michael clash over creative differences. We'll revisit the literal trial by fire when Michael's car almost went up in flames as he was entirely obsessed with the infectious beat of Billie Jean running through his head and the schoolyard fashion trend that Michael sparked with his iconic Billie Jean outfit.We also take a look at the iconic moments that defined this era: The Motown 25 Debut: The night the world first witnessed the Moonwalk. Breaking the Barrier: How "Billie Jean" shattered the MTV colour barrier forever. The Paranoid Anthem: The true inspiration behind the mystery.

"La vie, ce n'est pas uniquement suivre des chemins balisés, c'est aller chercher la part de génie en chacun de nous." Alors qu'Ibrahim Maalouf vient d'annoncer un concert historique à l'Accor Arena en 2027 pour célébrer ses 20 ans de carrière, je vous propose de replonger dans une conversation rare et profondément humaine. Une conversation sur la musique, évidemment. Mais aussi sur les échecs, ses origines, les rencontres qui changent une vie et cette sensation de devoir inventer sa propre place quand aucun chemin ne semble vraiment tracé pour vous. Dans cet épisode de PAUSE, Ibrahim raconte sa découverte de la trompette, l'exigence de son père, son lien viscéral avec le Liban, sa manière de créer, de ressentir, de penser différemment. Et surtout, il parle d'un sujet dont on parle finalement très peu : cette idée que le travail ne suffit pas toujours. Qu'il faut aussi apprendre à penser autrement, provoquer les rencontres, suivre son intuition, croire en cette petite part unique qu'on a tous en nous. Avec en bonus : une belle question surprise de Matthieu Chedid autour de Quincy Jones et de leur relation. Une conversation sincère, sensible et inspirante avec un artiste qui n'a jamais essayé de rentrer dans les cases.Hébergé par Ausha.

www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcastBefore the moonwalk. Before the glove. Before Neverland, before the tabloids, before the world decided it knew exactly who Michael Jackson was — there was a kid in Gary, Indiana who wasn't allowed to touch his father's guitar.Most people know the legend. Few know the price.Michael Jackson didn't have a childhood. He had rehearsals. He had a belt across the chair and a father who saw dollar signs where other dads saw sons. By the time he was eight years old he was performing in nightclubs, watching the adult world at its worst, and being told that was normal. It wasn't normal. None of it was.And yet — out of all of that — came Thriller. The moonwalk. Four consecutive number one singles before he was twelve. A catalog worth billions. A chimp in a matching outfit eating dinner at the table.But also Neverland. Also the allegations. Also a death that still doesn't sit right.This week we start at the beginning — Gary, Indiana, Joe Jackson, the Apollo Theater, Motown, Quincy Jones, and the private world Michael built when he finally had enough money to build whatever he wanted. We get into the stuff most people don't know, the stuff that actually explains everything, and we set the table for what's coming in Part 2.And trust us — Part 2 gets dark.Timestamps:00:00 — Intro, Patreon shoutouts & gas prices somehow leading to Michael Jackson04:00 — Why we're covering MJ now & our bias going in (we love him, sue us)07:00 — Gary, Indiana: the two-bedroom house, 11 people, and Joe Jackson11:00 — Joe discovers the boys' talent & the rehearsals begin — belt on the chair13:00 — Michael describes the abuse & why the sight of his father made him physically ill15:00 — "Big Nose" — the nickname that quietly explains everything about his face16:00 — The Jackson 5 is born & Michael joins at six years old18:00 — Winning the Apollo, Gladys Knight, Berry Gordy & the Motown signing19:00 — Diana Ross "presents" them — the marketing ploy that worked perfectly20:00 — Four consecutive number ones straight out the gate, Jacksonmania hits22:00 — Growing up backstage in nightclubs — what Michael saw at age 7 and 823:00 — His Grammy speech: "My childhood was taken away from me"25:00 — Was it worth it?

If you weren't alive to know, or old enough to comprehend, how massively popular Michael Jackson was in the 80s, just picture the biggest music star today and times it by five, at least. This week's movie, “Michael”, tries to give you an idea about how big he was, but you really had to be there to know. This movie shines a bright light on the turbulent childhood the Jackson boys, particularly Michael, went through at the hands of their self-absorbed, tyrannical father, Joe Jackson. Joe created the Jackson 5, with Michael as the lead singer, and got them into the sights of Motown. That primarily got Michael made as the next megastar by Berry Gordy at Motown and Quincy Jones. Still in the background was Michael's familial struggle with his father trying to rule his life with an iron fist and knowing his grip is slipping. Michael fights to be his own man and achieve his own dreams all while being the biggest music star of all time. Is it worth going to see this biopic at the theater? Check out Movies Merica to find out! “Michael” stars Jaafar Jackson, Colman Domingo, Nia Long, Miles Teller, Juliano Valdi, Liv Symone, Laura Harrier, Larenz Tate, John Rabe, KeiLyn Durrel Jones, Kendrick Sampson, Michael Andrew Baker and Zach Kenney. Support the showFeel free to reach out to me via:@MoviesMerica on Twitter @moviesmerica on InstagramMovies Merica on Facebook

YHI + McBride = Ray Charles?! Christian McBride - bassist, Grammy winner and one of the greatest musical minds working today - joins Adam and Peter on You'll Hear It to share his desert island album.If you know Christian, you know that his musical hero is James Brown. But Christian isn't bringing a James Brown pick. Instead, he's bringing one from his hero's hero ... Ray Charles.This album was a risky move for Charles - unlike anything else he'd released at that time. At the peak of his power, he set aside the qualities that made him famous: his voice and his piano.This one's a deep cut. But once you listen, you'll never hear Ray Charles the same way again.Chapters Legend:

TVC 734.1: Part 2 of a conversation that began last week with music journalist A. Scott Galloway about the life and legacy of producer, composer, arranger, and musician Quincy Jones. Scott not only interviewed Jones at the time of the release of Jones' album Q's Jook Joint, but also wrote the liner notes for three other Jones music releases (including The Reel Quincy Jones, a compilation of scores from Jones' early years as a composer for film and television), plus he crossed paths with Q on many other occasions during the last thirty years of Jones' life. Quincy Jones passed away on Nov. 3, 2024. Topics this segment include how Jones, Burt Bacharach, and Charles Fox were among the many composers who studied music in France under legendary teacher and conductor Nadia Boulanger; what made Jones a "people groover"; and the full-circle moment when Scott was able to introduce his father to Q, many years after Scott's dad had introduced the music of Jones to him.

Charlie Puth joins Switched On Pop in Studio A at Power Station at Berklee NYC, live before a room of current students, ten days after performing the national anthem at Super Bowl 60 and weeks before releasing his fourth album, Whatever's Clever. The conversation is grounded in one question: how do you absorb the music you love and turn it into something that actually sounds like you? Puth traces his national anthem arrangement through a lineage running from Jose Feliciano's 1968 World Series performance to Marvin Gaye's 808-driven 1983 All-Star Game version to Whitney Houston's 1991 Super Bowl rendition. The through-line: citation is letting your influences dissolve into your hands until they become unrecognizable. That principle runs throughout the new record, from the Quincy Jones guitar tone on "Cry" to the Chick Corea quotation buried in "Boy" that Puth didn't realize was there until after writing it.
