Dizzy was booked on a “Jazz at the Philharmonic” tour of Europe & was unable to recruit & rehearse the group. Since we had a history of working together he asked me to do it &, at the age of 22, you bet I did! The entire trip was an adventure. We didn't know what we were getting into…neither did the State Department. But our jazz music brought peace to various areas & was used as a tool to help settle Cold War tensions. It was a wild ride, but it makes my soul smile to know that this program is still going today, & that my lil bro @justinkauflinmusic set out for his own version of the tour. You’ve got to know where you come from in order to get where you want to go! @quincyjonesproductions @statedept」4月15日 4時35分
