'Quincy Delight Jones Jr. (March 14, 1933 – November 3, 2024) was an American record producer, composer, arranger, conductor, trumpeter, and bandleader. During his seven-decade career, he received dozens of accolades, including 28 Grammy Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, and a Tony Award as well as nominations for seven Academy Awards and four Golden Globe Awards.

Jones came to prominence in the 1950s as a jazz arranger and conductor before producing pop hit records for Lesley Gore in the early 1960s (including "It's My Party") and serving as an arranger and conductor for several collaborations between Frank Sinatra and the jazz artist Count Basie. Jones produced three of the most successful albums by Michael Jackson: Off the Wall (1979), Thriller (1982), and Bad (1987). In 1985, Jones produced and conducted the charity song "We Are the World", which raised funds for victims of famine in Ethiopia.'

Paihia Sea Wall Mural by New Zealand artist Erika Pearce @erikapearce.artist at 124 Marsden Road, Paihia, Bay of Islands, New Zealand in April 2019. Photos taken February 2025.
⠀⠀⠀
"Located on the bluff in Paihia, just before Te Ti Bay, the beach location required some serious logistics! I painted for 6 days straight, from sunrise to sunset, moving the lift off the beach at every high tide. On completion of the mural, local Iwi hosted a sunrise blessing with a great turn out from the community."

⠀⠀⠀
"We are surrounded by ocean. Where ever you are in Aotearoa, you are not much more than an hours drive to the coast. The health of our people depends on the health of the ocean. Paihia is one of those special places where people come from all over the world to connect with and play in the surrounding waters. We are so blessed, let's work together so future generations will be able to enjoy it too." @erikapearce.artist May 17, 2019
