Quincy Jones transformed leadership with adaptability and collaboration. His evolution from jazz to super producer teaches timeless lessons in resilience and vision.
I first met Quincy Jones at Q Bar, his first ever jazz bar in Dubai’s Versace Hotel. During our encounters, he was incredibly kind and seemed to take a particular interest in me. I fondly recall him asking for a copy of my book, The Kim Kardashian Principle, and the heartfelt appreciation he showed when I agreed. Often surrounded by a circle of young, admiring team members, Quincy exuded an magnetic yet understated blend of charm and wisdom—he was the coolest person in the room—but he was also a force that has made him a lasting role model for generations.
Jones’ publicist, Arnold Robinson, shared the sad news of his passing on Sunday night, at his home in Bel Air, Los Angeles, with family by his side.
« Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing. And although this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life that he lived and know there will never be another like him », the family said in a statement.
