Quincy Jones has been one of the hardest working people in show business over the past seven decades. Jones is an accomplished musician, film and music production mogul, film and music composer, humanitarian, and loving family man, among other things. The music icon seemingly never stops working. His rags to riches story, facing tremendous adversity growing up and throughout his career, make his career all the more meaningful and impressive.

Jones’ daughter, actor, writer, producer, and director Rashida Jones, and musician and filmmaker Alan Hicks (“Keep on Keepin’ On“) recently teamed up to write and direct the quintessential documentary about the life of the entertainment mogul. Distributed by Netflix, “Quincy” is an informative, engaging, and timely feature that focuses on the legend’s past achievements, struggles, current endeavors, and captures the generosity of his spirit.

While promoting “Quincy,” I had an opportunity to sit down with Jones and Hicks about the tremendous effort and time put into making the film, the process of sorting through the archival footage, autodidactic filmmaking, Quincy’s influence, what’s next, and more.

Did you learn anything new about your father in the making of this documentary?

Rashida Jones: I don’t know if I learned anything new, but I certainly saw and heard a lot of new things. There was tons of stuff that I don’t think he’s even ever seen that was like buried away in this off-campus vault [laughter]. Not at his house. There was tons of footage there that I’d never seen before.
