At the recent Grammys, Smith, alongside renowned pianist Herbie Hancock, paid tribute to Jones, a music legend known as 'Q' to his admirers.

During the tribute, Smith acknowledged Jones' profound impact on his life, emphasizing the lasting influence the composer and producer had on him. Jones, who passed away in November 2024 at the age of 91, left an indelible mark on the music industry, working with icons like Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, and Michael Jackson.
