Rashida Jones, an actress and award-winining filmmaker, penned a moviing tribue to her father, the late producer Quincy Jones. Taking to social media, Rashida Jones remembered Quincy Jones as a protective and loving father, even in the midst of his creative endeavors.

Rashida Jones, 48, posted a photo of herself as an infant while being cradled by Quincy Jones, sharing how she would walk in on him creating music late at night yet never turned her away.

From Instagram:

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. Undoubtedly, he would be somewhere in the house, composing (old school, with a pen and sheet music). 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.

Jones continued her tribute with “He was a giant. An icon. A culture shifter. A genius” before concluding that she was honored to be his child.

Rashida Jones won the Grammy Award for Best Music Film in 2019 for the biographic film, Quincy, which focused on the life of her father.
