TCM's Quincy Jones memorial

Record producer and sometime composer Quincy Jones died back in November at the age of 91. With Christmas and then 31 Days of Oscar, it took a little time for TCM to get the movies together to do a memorial tribute, but that tribute is coming up tonight in prime time, with five films of scores by Jones:

8:00 PM In the Heat of the Night
10:00 PM In Cold Blood
12:30 AM The Getaway
2:45 AM The Anderson Tapes
4:45 AM The Split

Looking through Jones' filmography, there are some other films I wouldn't have minded seeing show up, but then they would have had to pre-empt some other schedule ideas. I actually have The Out-of-Towners on my DVR and recently watched it, but the review is going to come up some time later, since I already had something else on the TCM schedule to blog about today and have a bunch of stuff coming up that I've already written posts for.
