Music giant Quincy Jones was laid to rest in a private ceremony in the US, a week after his death at age 91.
A larger, more public memorial is also being planned.
The family of the 28-time Grammy-winning producer, arranger and composer said in a statement to The Associated Press the “intimate ceremony included Mr Jones’ seven children, his brother, two sisters, and immediate family members”.
The family did not reveal the cemetery where the ceremony took place.
They added that they remain “enormously grateful for the outpouring of condolences and tributes from his friends and fans from around the world. Details for a memorial celebration of Mr. Jones’ life will be announced at a later date”.
Jones died surrounded by his family at his home in the Bel Air section of Los Angeles in November.
His seven decades of musical mastery included producing Michael Jackson’s Thriller album, writing prize-winning film scores and collaborating on classic recordings with Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles and hundreds of others.
Tributes to him after his death came from some of the biggest figures in media and politics.
Saturday Night Live, which he once hosted, paid tribute to him a night before his service with a memorial photo in a quiet moment of the show.
In lieu of flowers, Jones’ family asks for donations to the Jazz Foundation of America.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
