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.  Quincy is renowned for his work with on Michael Jackson’s “Thriller’, and made his debut as a film producer in 1985 receiving 11 Oscar nominations for ‘The Color Purple’.
