With his humble beginnings in a Chicago slum to his meteoric rise to the top of the music and movie worlds, Quincy Jones has been connected to virtually every music phenomena of the 20th century.

And now you can watch the new documentary- Quincy– produced with the help of his daughter, actress Rashida Jones, on Netflix. Catch the trailer here.
