‘A True Giant of Music’: Quincy Jones Mourned By Clive Davis, Michael Jackson Estate, Guy Moot and More

Quincy Jones tributes from music industry leader are pouring in for the legendary producer, arranger, composer, jazz artist and music director.

Tributes from industry luminaries and executives are pouring in for legendary producer, arranger and composer Quincy Jones, who died Sunday (Nov. 3) at the age of 91.

Producer, arranger, trumpeter, executive, and more, Jones won 28 Grammy Awards and guided historic sessions with such giants as Frank Sinatra, Miles Davis, and Michael Jackson in addition to his groundbreaking work in film and television.
