QUINCY JONES / VARIOUS ARTISTS Quincy Jones The 75th Birthday
Celebration: Live In Montreux (2009 UK 2-disc Region 0 PAL DVD set -
When an artist of the stature of Quincy Jones celebrates his 75th
birthday you can be sure it's going to be quite a party. The show took
place on July 14th 2008 at the legendary Montreux Jazz Festival, an
event with which Quincy has a long and rich history, and the cream of
musical talent turned up to serenade 'Q' on this very special occasion.
The main concert lasted over two and a half hours and the musicians
then spilled out into the bars and cafes of Montreux with the music still
going strong as the sun was coming up the next morning! Performing
songs and music associated with Quincy throughout his long career,
was an incredible line-up of artists including: Patti Austin, Petula Clark,
Billy Cobham, Herbie Hancock, Mick Hucknall, Al Jarreau, Chaka
Khan, Angelique Kidjo, Beverley Knight, James Moody, Nana
Mouskouri, Naturally 7, Paolo Nutini, Freda Payne, Lee Ritenour, Curtis
Stigers and more. With Bonus Material featuring 'Thank Q',
