Quincy Jones departed this world on November 3, in his beloved home located in the prestigious Bel-Air neighborhood of Los Angeles. His illustrious career spanned over seven decades, during which he made indelible marks on the music industry.

Renowned for producing Michael Jackson’s iconic “Thriller” album, Jones held a unique talent for creating mesmerizing film scores and collaborating with music legends such as Frank Sinatra and Ray Charles.

Notably, “Saturday Night Live” honored him with a poignant memorial photo one day before his funeral, symbolizing his lasting influence within the entertainment sphere.

In a continued spirit of support for music and its community, Jones’ family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Jazz Foundation of America, reflecting the values and endeavors that Jones held close to his heart. As the world mourns the loss of a legend, the memory of Quincy Jones will undoubtedly resonate through his monumental contributions to music and the arts for generations to come.
