Weekend Health Scare For Quincy Jones

Quincy Jones is out of the hospital after experiencing a health scare earlier this weekend.

The L-A Times reports Paramedics transported Jones, 90, from his Los Angeles home to the emergency room on Saturday after the renowned musician reacted badly to some food he ate and called 911 just to be safe, a representative for the Grammy-winning record producer told TMZ.

He was released from the hospital shortly thereafter once doctors determined he was OK. The composer never lost consciousness and was in “great spirits” by the time he left the hospital, his rep told TMZ.

One of the most respected and influential figures in American music, Jones has collaborated with and shaped the careers of countless artists, from Miles Davis and Duke Ellington to Ray Charles and Michael Jackson.

In January 2022, the beloved virtuoso released a 10-volume album, “Milestones of a Legend,” encompassing nearly 200 of his greatest jazz recordings from the 50s and early 60s — a small sampling from his illustrious, decades-long career.

Jones career spans 70 years, with 80 Grammy Award nominations, 28 Grammys, and a Grammy Legend Award in 1992.
