Although rooted in jazz, Quincy Jones has almost become his own genre – a sophisticated blend of rich orchestrations, infectious rhythms and attention to detail that has inspired almost all of popular Western music. Jones’s own compositions such as “Soul Bossa Nova” or “The Dude” are amongst the most recognizable songs of the 20th century, and as the executive producer of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”, the Quincy Jones sound has become the epitome of pop music per se.
