Idolator

Quincy Jones was "among six musicians named as National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters for 2008" at an event last night in New York, along with Candido Camero, Tom McIntosh, Joe Wilder, and Gunther Schuller. Special shoutout to the NEA for also recoginizing the late pianist Andrew Hill, who passed in April, and reminding me to throw on Hill's epochal Blue Note date Point of Departure. [AP]
