Wow. He made so many musical contributions it is really amazing. TV show themes, movies, jazz band, backing top singers, he really did it all over many decades.

Yeah RIP. Saw that too. Respectable age though, 91.
His legacy is stunning. 28 grammy's and 79 nominations to name something... I think there was a saying amongst musicians that if Quincy calls to ask to play on an album of another artist, you don't decline. ever. I think we all have some albums where he put his special finger on. Recently (well...2018, time flies) he made a song I really liked with Chaka Khan and Mark Ronson (someone I really like too, I guess he does now what Quincy Jones did in the 70's and 80's): Keep reachin: The documentary is a must watch for music lovers.

He studied with Nadia Boulanger. In the classical world, that’s a bit like if he’d studied rock guitar with Joe Satriani, but even more so.

Some of the best studied with her:
Not everyone who studied with her became a classical composer. Quincy Jones is one such example. Another is Joe Raposo, of Sesame Street fame. “It’s Not Easy Being Green”, “How Do You Get to Sesame Street”, etc. I never had the honor of meeting Boulanger, but I know or knew a bunch of people who studied with her (such as Joe Raposo), and several who worked for her.
