Mark Ronson Remembers Quincy Jones: He ‘Radiated Generosity’


Mark Ronson remembered Quincy Jones as a 'benevolent cheerleader for the wonder of music itself' in a sweet tribute.

“Over the years, he would send me kind notes – he had a particular fondness for Amy [Winehouse] – and we’d often hang out whenever I played the Montreux jazz festival, his beloved stomping ground,” Ronson wrote. “Seeing him there, stage right, seated in his director’s chair – looking every bit the debonair godfather of music, smiling back at you – elicited a wild mix of emotions.” Stars across disciplines, including Stevie Wonder, Colman Domingo, Nile Rodgers, The Weeknd, Victoria Monét, and Flea, shared sweet tributes to the late musician.
