Quincy Jones

The multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, composer, arranger, film and television producer has a career spanning over 60 years in the entertainment industry with a record 80 Grammy Award nominations, 28 Grammys, and a Grammy Legend Award in 1992.

Jones, 87, a legendary record producer and one of the great musical figures of the 20th Century produced the classic Jackson albums “Off the Wall,” “Thriller” and “Bad”.

“At each stage in his remarkable career, he’s been the first. He’s been somebody who’s walked through that door before everybody else has. That’s given people behind him enormous confidence. And he’s done it with grace.”

Those are the words of former President Obama used to describe the writer-producer-arranger-composer in the new documentary – Quincy.
