Oscar Peterson is among the many Canadians speaking about the global impact of the multi-faceted Jones, who died Sunday after a staggering career that shaped so much of the entertainment industry.

Oscar Peterson's youngest daughter remembers "laughter and joy" when her late father spent time with music giant Quincy Jones.

Tributes to the creative genius have been pouring in from around the globe, many from Canada where friends described a man who felt like family despite his public persona as an industry titan. Williams said Jones "became an honoured friend" after Canadian composer and producer David Foster introduced them at the Juno Awards one year, and he eventually functioned as a media handler and local fixer -- even preparing some home cooking to hand deliver to Jones' hotel room.

Toronto-based jazz pianist Robi Botos credited Jones with teaching him how to navigate an evolving music industry at a key point in his burgeoning career, noting the versatile Jones inspired him to push beyond his jazz background. "It's an amazing thing when a young artist gets support from someone like that. I mean, he was literally behind everything I grew up on music wise."
