NETFLIX will launch documentary “Quincy,” about music icon Quincy Jones, on Sept. 21.

The film, which will have a limited theatrical release, is directed by Rashida Jones, the actress and writer who is also Jones’ daughter, and Alan Hicks, the director of “Keep On Keepin’ On,” which focused on jazz musician Clark Terry.

The film promises a look at Jones’ career as a trumpeter, producer, conductor, composer and arranger, combining verite moments with archival footage.

“It’s rare that somebody who has lived as much life as my dad is still interested in growing and knowing the next generation,” said Rashida Jones. “He is such a man of action and accomplishments, but we were so lucky to spend real time with him, to let him reflect on life and the larger picture. I feel honored to be able to share that with audiences all over the world.”

“There is really no one like Quincy, the sheer breadth of his work alone is unparalleled, but the story of him as a man has never been comprehensively told. It was a privilege to have his trust, allowing us to capture intimate moments giving insight into the fabric of the man,” Hicks added.

“It’s a rare opportunity to be able to present the definitive story of someone who has for over seven decades, not just influenced, but altered the course of culture. Combining his God given creative gift with a near maniacal work ethic, Quincy Jones has done just that, marshalling every expression of the arts to their full potency resulting in everything from ‘Thriller’ to ‘The Color Purple’,” said Lisa Nishimura, Netflix’s vice president of original documentaries.(SD-Agencies)
