Scores by Quincy Jones
February 1–April 17
A multi-talented composer, conductor and producer, Quincy Jones (1933–2024) got his start in the 1950s touring with jazz orchestras, performing with Elvis and conducting albums for Frank Sinatra. At the request of filmmaker Sidney Lumet, he composed his first film score for THE PAWNBROKER in 1964 and subsequently scored over 30 feature films, accumulating seven Academy Award® nominations and two honorary Oscars® for his monumental output. After working on the music for THE WIZ (a new 4K restoration will debut later in 2025), he started an iconic collaboration with Michael Jackson, crafting some of the most indelible pop music of the 20th century. But Jones’ film scores stand alone and this series showcases the range of his work, from jazz to funk to pop.
