Music giant Quincy Jones was laid to rest in a private ceremony in Los Angeles, 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 that 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.’
