Quincy Jones is widely known as one of the most significant figures in entertainment over the last five decades. Known as a musician, producer, arranger, composer and media giant with collaborations with the biggest names in the music industry - from Frank Sinatra and Miles Davis to Michael Jackson - Jones created some of the greatest music ever recorded. A trumpet prodigy in his teens, he cut his teeth as an arranger during the jazz scene of the 1950s. By the 1960s, he was a vice-president at Mercury Records, an acclaimed musician in own right, and the composer of such memorable film scores as "The Pawnbroker" (1964) and "In Cold Blood" (1967). Though his own work was nothing less than stellar, his records for others - in particular, Jackson with Off the Wall and Thriller - achieved iconic status, elevating him to legend. In the 1980s and 1990s, he branched into film and television production, finding success with each endeavor, as well as pursuing philanthropic interests in the new millennium. His dedication to art and entertainment, his boundless abilities and his astonishing accomplishments made him one of the most important personalities in American culture for over five decades.
