“ The entire world has adopted American music as the music that best expresses their souls. But the full spectrum of our indigenous music ... the music that we invented ... is less appreciated and understood in its own birthplace than anywhere else in the world.” Quincy Jones, Producer and Composer Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, May 2003
