It just doesn’t stop, does it?

While he wasn’t an Elvis or a Jagger, his influence was undoubtedly just as big.

Rest in peace, thanks for so much great music, and I have an idea what I’ll be listening to this evening.

This has been sitting in my watchlist for ages, I feel guilty for not having made the time (yet) to play it.
The breadth of his career is staggering

RIP Mr. Jones. What a career.

There's an Atmos version of his 1962 Big Band Bossa Nova LP streaming on Apple.
Track 3, Desifinado, was on the Guardian's Top Ten list this morning.
I'm more partial to the next cut, Black Orpheus (Manha de Carnival).

An amazing musician, composer, arranger, producer and from the interview I watched on the BBC News channel this evening a true Polymath, he spoke and wrote loads of languages as well as being a genius in the musical field. My late father was a fan as well, so his influence crossed generations. RIP Quincy
