We pay tribute to one of the most influential artists of our time, Quincy Jones, who has sadly died aged 91.
Our 2016 Prom celebrated Jones' career including his early film & TV scores and collaborations with jazz greats. Tonight on @BBCTwo at 23:15.

@piratejw retires today, we’ve known one another for so many years we will all miss him @BBCRadio2 but thanks for the friendship and the memories Johnnie xx
Never met him in person, yet felt as if you knew
@piratejw personally hearing him on the radio for so long. Will be listening this afternoon once more.
For his final Rock Show on @BBCRadio2 Johnnie @piratejw thought he’d dress for the occasion�� Tonight at 11pm with his favourite rock tracks. 🎸🎸❤️🥂 @lizziebarn (the Queen of Rock)
Today, for the very last time, “Johnnie’s up next with Sounds of the Seventies.”
For every iteration of @BBCRadio2, he’s been front and centre.
Every building we’ve broadcast from, every studio, every decade… Mighty, mighty Johnnie Walker.
It’s hard to say goodbye.
And we’re off!

One of the many things I’ve stolen from the incomparable @BenFolds is trying to improvise a song on stage. Here’s an attempt in Bremen, an improvised ode to the security guys at the front of the stage.
In case you missed it: at a special BBC event last night, we announced some major new @BBCRadio3 commissions, including a 40-part series on modernist composers and 25 new works, inspired by the first 25 years of the 21st century. More here: https://t.co/XvhvrhcLwT
