From Sinatra to the Italian Job to The Dude to The Wiz to Off The Wall and Thriller. The greatest arranger and producer of all time. How sad but what a legacy to leave behind. An absolute titan.

It says a lot about him that I somehow left out his magnificent work with George Benson: the Give Me The Night album is perfection.

Even out of the recording studio he just nailed it; combined with Cleethorpes’ finest funkateer Rod Temperton…voila:

Sad indeed. There's a really good documentary out there somewhere (probably Netflix) which is well worth watching and traces his whole life and career and not just the pop stuff.

RIP Quincy Jones, you were pretty damn good at what you did.
Thank you for your musical genius.
Thank you especially for your finest work :your daughter Rashida.

His daughter was Rashida Jones (he also had 5 other daughters) from the American version of "The Office" and "Parks and Recreation."

She has said of her parents' mixed-race marriage: "it was the 1970s and still not that acceptable for them to be together".[23] In his autobiography, her father recalled how he would often find the six-year-old Jones under the covers after bedtime, reading five books at a time with a flashlight.[24] She has said that she grew up a "straight-up nerd" and "had a computer with floppy disks and a dial-up modem before it was cool".[23] Jones displayed musical ability from an early age and can play classical piano.[25] Her mother told Entertainment Tonight in 1990 that Jones was "also a fabulous singer and songwriter".[26]

I knew there was much more to him than just being the driving force behind Michael Jackson’s success.
but I didn’t realise just how much more - just in music let alone all the other stuff. Did I read Count Basie’s musical director at the age of 23.
