  • In July 1969, Jones's arrangement of "Fly Me to the Moon" recorded by Frank Sinatra and the Count Basie Orchestra was the first music played on NASA's first lunar landing mission by astronaut Buzz Aldrin.
  • In 2000, Harvard University endowed the Quincy Jones Professorship of Afro-American Music with a grant of $3 million from Time Warner. The endowed chair for African-American music, housed in Harvard's African and African-American Studies Department, is believed to be the first in the nation, and is presently held by the ethnomusicologist Ingrid Monson. Distinguished scholar and public intellectual Henry Louis Gates, Jr. was a close, personal friend of Jones.
  • In December 2009, Jones was honored by Swiss-watch manufacturer Audemars Piguet with a limited edition watch with a case back engraved with Quincy Jones' signature, and reading "Millenary Quincy Jones – Limited Edition" as a reminder of its exclusivity. Only 500 pieces of the watch were produced.[56]
