Obituary: Quincy Jones' Impact on Music, TV and Canadian Hip-Hop

This week we also acknowledge the passing of Buena Vista Social Club member Manuel "Guajiro" Mirabal and Czech cellist and composer Vojtěch Havel.

Quincy (Delight) Jones, an iconic figure in American popular music, died on November 3, at age 91.

A Billboard obituary described him as “the musical giant whose six-decade, barrier-breaking career encompassed many creative personas—musician, songwriter, producer, conductor, arranger, artist, record label owner and executive, TV/film producer, magazine publisher and humanitarian.”
