Autor

Named by Time Magazine as one of the six most influential Jazz artists of the 20th century, Quincy Jones is an impresario in the broadest and most creative sense of the word. For over seven decades Jones' career has encompassed the roles of composer, record producer, artist, film producer, arranger, conductor, instrumentalist, TV producer, record company executive, television station owner, magazine founder, multi-media entrepreneur, and humanitarian. Among the multitude of awards that he has received for his contributions are an Emmy Award, seven Academy Award nominations, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, and 28 Grammy Awards with a total of 80 nominations. He is the recipient of the Republic of France's Commandeur de la Legion d'Honneur, and in 2001 he was inducted as a "Kennedy Center Honoree," the United States' most prestigious cultural award, for his lifetime contributions to the culture of the country. He was recognized by the National Endowment for the Arts as a Jazz Master--the nation's highest jazz honor, and in 2010 was bestowed the National Medal of Arts, our nation's highest artistic honor. In 2016, Jones received a Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical for the Broadway production of The Color Purple. The award completed the rare EGOT set for Jones, an exclusive club of artists who have received an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award.
