"The legendary composer, musical arranger and producer Quincy Jones has died at
91.
Over his long career, Jones arranged and produced for a broad range of genres.
His work blended the traditions of jazz, popular, world music and Western
classical music.
This was perhaps most present in his 1989 album
Back on the Block. It
features jazz improvisation, Zulu language, gospel and rapping. The album won
seven Grammy Awards, including album of the year.
But even more than his own albums, Jones will be familiar to listeners across
decades of popular music, for his work as a producer and arranger with
legendary artists such as Ella Fitzgerald, Barry White, Chaka Khan, Frank
Sinatra and Michael Jackson."
RIP,
