Remembering Advisor Board Member Quincy Jones 1933-2024

Quincy Jones was an integral part of the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz and a member of our Advisory Board for over 35 years. He played a vital role in Institute programs including serving as a judge for our international competitions, sharing his knowledge and wisdom with Institute students and speaking at the United Nations for the official launch of International Jazz Day.

His musical life began with jazz and expanded to encompass all genres of music. Q, we are forever grateful for all you have done for the Institute and for music throughout the years. Your voice and influence will continue to inspire and resonate through all the musicians whose lives you touched and beyond.
