master innovators in their own right.
We can be certain that the new
talent selected by these gentlemen
will be among the best the music
world has to offer." To help them
further their careers, Sony will pro
vide to the Sony Innovators a col
lection of Sony profressional equip
ment.
The 1988 Sony Innovators have
been chosen from a field of Black
artists recommended by the nation's
major recoring companies. In Sep
tember, a panel of three distin
guished judges from the music in
dustry selected nine finalists from all
nominations received.
YORK — bony Corporation of
America
has announced
that
arranger-producer-composer Quin
cy Jones and renowned jazz and
rock artist Herbie Hancock have
selected the tw o recipients of the
Sony Innovators Awards for 1988.
A new initiative of Sony Corpor
ation of America, the Sony Innova
tors
Program honors up-and-
coming Black artists in film, tele
vision and music. In this first year of
the program, the Sony Innovators
selected by Mr. Jones and Mr. Han
cock are talented performers in the
field of music.
The 1988 Sony Innovators will be
announced at a gala event in New
York on March 1. They will also be
seen and heard in Sony advertising
in the coming months.
"I'm glad to see a major corpora
tion like Sony reaching out to give
Black performing artists a chance
for recognition before national audi
ences," said Quincy Jones.
"I
clearly remember what it's like to be
out there struggling just to be
heard."
Quincy Jones has set a standard
matched by few individuals in
music. He is considered by many to
be a musical genius, having played
nearly every imaginable role — com
poser, record producer, artist, ar
ranger, conductor, and master in
ventor of musical hybrids. He is
noted for such blockbuster produc
tions as "W e Are The W orld" and
Michael Jackson's "Thriller," the
highest-selling album of this de
cade. He also produced Jackson's
current hit album "b a d," and he is
now working on another major re
cording.

talent the opportunity to showcase
their w ork," said Herbie Hancock.
"I'm happy to be associated with the
the project because it's a unique
step by a major company to foster
the growth of musical talent in our
young Black artists."
Herbie Hancock is known for his
work with Miles Davis and the intro
duction of the synthesizer to his jazz
works. His latest album, "Future
Shock," hit the top of the Pop,
R&B and Dance charts and went
gold. It was also a major music
video success. In 1986, Mr. Han
cock scored and co-starred in the
highly acclaimed film "Round Mid
night," which won the 1986 Aca
demy Award for Best Score. He
also composed scores for "A Sol
dier's Story" and "Jo Jo Dancer."
"Having Mr. Jones and Mr. Han
cock participate in the Sony Innova
tors Program is truly a first-class
honor," said Jeff Brooks, Sony vice
president of Advertising. "These
men represent creativity, quality
and leadership, and they are truly
