LENOX, Mass. (AP) — Author Edith Wharton's historic Massachusetts home is finally debt-free, seven years after defaulting on a loan and nearly shutting its doors.
The estate in Lenox is known as The Mount, and it includes a house and gardens. It's also a National Historic Landmark. Just 5 percent of those sites are dedicated to women.
Quincy Jones will be feted at an all-star jazz salute in Los Angeles honoring his humanitarian work including benefit recordings for African famine relief and victims of Superstorm Sandy.
The Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz announced Wednesday that Jones will be presented its Herbie Hancock Humanitarian Award at a gala concert on Nov. 15 at the Dolby Theater.
