Rashida Jones is paying tribute to her father, iconic musical powerhouse Quincy Jones, who died on Nov. 3 at 91 years old.

The 48-year-old Parks and Recreation actress took to Instagram on Thursday (Nov. 7) to share a photo of herself as an infant, snuggled up against her late father’s face. “My dad was nocturnal his whole adult life. He kept ‘jazz hours’ starting in high school and never looked back,” she began in her heartwarming caption. “When I was little, I would wake up in the middle of the night to search for him. Undoubtedly, he would be somewhere in the house, composing (old school, with a pen and sheet music). He would never send me back to bed. He would smile and bring me into his arms while he continued to work…there was no safer place in the world for me.”

She continued, “He was a giant. An icon. A culture shifter. A genius. All accurate descriptions of my father but his music (and ALL of his work) was a channel for his love. He WAS love. He made everyone he ever met feel loved and seen. That’s his legacy.”

Rashida wrapped up her post by writing, “I was fortunate enough to experience this love in close proximity. I’ll miss his hugs and kisses and unconditional devotion and advice. Daddy, it is an honor to be your daughter. Your love lives forever.”

In his illustrious, more than 70-year career, Quincy won 28 Grammys and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. He has worked with icons from Ray Charles and Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackson, for whom he produced the best-selling albums Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad. After he took over the A&R sector at Mercury Records in 1961, Quincy became the first African-American to serve as a VP at a major label. He was also the first Black composer to receive name recognition for his film work.

Along with Rashida, he’s survived by six more of his children: Jolie, Rachel, Martina, Quincy III, Kidada and Kenya.
