Biografía

Quincy Jones fue un renombrado productor musical, compositor y arreglista estadounidense que mantuvo una profunda y admirable relación con la cultura y la música brasileña a lo largo de su trayectoria. Gran investigador e incentivador de manifestaciones musicales de calidad, Jones se convirtió en un gran admirador de la bossa nova y de diversos exponentes de nuestra escena artística.

Entre sus grandes favoritos de la música brasileña se encontraban nombres consagrados como Simone, a quien frecuentemente describía como una de las mayores cantantes del mundo, además de Milton Nascimento, Gilson Peranzzetta, Ivan Lins y Djavan. Con Djavan, por ejemplo, construyó una sólida amistad que se remonta a la época en que el cantante brasileño vivió en Estados Unidos y grabó el aclamado álbum Luz.

La admiración de Jones por Brasil reflejaba su mente abierta y su búsqueda constante de excelencia melódica y armónica, elementos que él mismo valoraba profundamente en su legendaria carrera global, que incluyó trabajos históricos con iconos como Michael Jackson, Ray Charles y Frank Sinatra. Su legado permanece vivo tanto en la historia de la música estadounidense como en el cariño con el que abrazó los talentos de Brasil.
