Actress Rashida Jones memorialized her father, legendary music producer Quincy Jones, in an Instagram post Thursday after he passed away over the weekend at 91. “My dad was nocturnal his whole adult life. He kept ‘jazz hours’ starting in high school and never looked back. When I was little, I would wake up in the middle of the night to search for him,” Rashida wrote, along with a baby photo with her dad. “He would never send me back to bed. He would smile and bring me into his arms while he continued to work...there was no safer place in the world for me.” She continued, “He was a giant. An icon. A culture shifter. A genius. All accurate descriptions of my father but his music (and ALL of his work) was a channel for his love. He WAS love. He made everyone he ever met feel loved and seen. That’s his legacy.” She finished with, “Daddy, it is an honor to be your daughter. Your love lives forever.” Rashida directed a 2019 documentary on her father’s life, which won a Grammy.
