The Quincy Jones second-line parade featuring the Tremé Sidewalk Steppers, James Andrews Crescent City All Stars and Baby Dolls started and ended at Little People's Place in the Tremé neighborhood. Quincy Jones died Nov. 3 at the age of 91 in Los Angeles.

Musician James Andrews said he worked with influential Quincy Jones on a few projects including a documentary Jones narrated and produced called Satchmo of the Ghetto.

Mark "Uncle Mark" Starring said he met Quincy Jones in a Las Vegas casino 15 years ago at 3am. Jones and Starring discovered they had mutual friends, the Andrews family. According to Starring, Jones told him he went to New Orleans to visit Jessie Hill.

Travis Laurendine said he met Quincy Jones at a Grammy party that was honoring Jones in Los Angeles. Laurendine described Jones as a king holding court. He said connected with Jones over mutual friends, the Andrews, which led to a conversation about "conserving the musical legacy of the world" and the desire to build a museum in Louis Armstrong Park.
