Quincy Jones

His family have shared a statement on his passing.

A foot in the door of the music industry.

Sophistication behind the hooks.

A real shame.

“He was supposed to play on my album and he chickened out…”

The peak of musical brilliance.

Huh?!

The sounds of sophistication.

One of the composer’s finest.

For contributions to cross-cultural exchanges and global peace.

Criminally overlooked.

But it was not well celebrated.
