Quincy Jones is an American record producer, conductor, arranger, film score composer, television producer, and trumpeter. He is widely respected and known for his extensive work in various genres of music. From jazz to soul to funk to pop and more, Jones has produced for some of the biggest names in the industry including Michael Jackson, Dinah Washington, Roland Kirk, Sarah Vaughan, Rufus & Chaka Khan, George Benson, the Brothers Johnson, and Donna Summer.

One of his most notable achievements was producing Michael Jackson's iconic album "Off the Wall" in 1979. This album is considered a classic and was followed by two more highly successful albums: "Thriller" (1982) and "Bad" (1987).

Jones is not only a talented musician but also a proud father. He has two actress daughters named Rashida Jones and Kidada Jones with actress Peggy Lipton. Additionally, he has a son named Quincy Jones III with actress Ulla Andersson.

In 1982 the Jasmine Label was created producing LPs and Cassettes. The new label initially focused on licensed Jazz and Personality recordings. Later in 1985 Jasmine successfully launched its Country &amp; Western catalogue. 1990 saw the release of Jasmine’s first CDs.
Appears also on labels as: JASMINE only and as a company (with manufacturing and distribution roles).

In a career spanning 70 years, Quincy Jones has left his mark as a record producer, musician, songwriter, composer, arranger, and film & television producer, during which he's notched up 80 Grammy nominations, 28 Grammys, and a Grammy Legend award. This compilation features two Live LPs this band recorded in 1961, "The Great Wide World of Quincy Jones Live!"\u2008and "At Newport '61", plus an outtake of the latter album as a bonus track. Named by Time magazine as one of the most influential Jazz musicians of the 20th century, he first rose to fame in the 1950s as a Jazz arranger and conductor, before working on pop music and film scores. Back at the turn of the 1960s his first love was Jazz, and in 1960/61 he was able to realise his greatest ambition, of keeping a large, 19-piece Big Band together for extensive tours of Europe and the United States.
