Quincy Jones, the legendary music producer behind such mythical albums as Michael Jackson's Thriller, was named 2014 Icon of the Year by Mayback, Icons of Luxury.

Quincy Jones has won 27 Grammy Award from 79 nominations.

The jazz stylist who produced Frank Sinatra in his comeback will be seen on snappy shades and luxury luggage.

Quincy Jones said "I believe that all who have accomplished great things, and all those who aspire to greatness, will agree with the fact that 'the dictionary is the only place where success comes before work', Jones said in a statement.

"I am honored to join with a great brand such as MAYBACH to launch their inaugural "Icons Collection", as it represents our shared values of working hard to realize one's full potential and celebrating the intrinsic beauty of those accomplishments," he added.

Quincy Jones will be honored with a one-of-a-kind hand-painted leather luggage collection and eyewear made to travel in style.  

Honoring Quincy Jones and his historic contributions to music, culture and improving the lives of others throughout the last six decades, The Quincy Icon Collection includes signature eyewear, business bag, travel bag and messenger bag made from naturally tanned leathers sourced from Germany, Switzerland and Italy.

Quincy's personal luggage set has been hand-painted by award-winning artist Nate Giorgio.

"Quincy is the quintessential Maybach icon. He has lived a legacy of excellence in the spirit of my ancestors. And he always travels in style," said Co-founder Ulrich Schmid-Maybach.

The collection will be unveiled to Quincy Jones and friends, celebrities and Maybach car owners during a private event in Beverly Hills on November 22.
