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.
