A few mentors have marked the life of Claude Nobs, Founder and CEO of the Montreux Jazz Festival, and Quincy Jones is definitely one of them. Quincy�s 75th birthday was an ideal opportunity to pay a tribute. For almost a year, work was underway to make this evening a unique world event and all the artists accepted without hesitating, some even volunteering to take part!

The result is a very impressive line-up and a very well-deserved tribute to a giant who has one of the most remarkable careers in the history of music.

All profits from the sales of this Blu-Ray will go to the Quincy Jones Foundation to support and promote initiatives around the world that contribute to the health, well-being and dignity of children. Its mission is to give young people a voice to inspire and empower them to live to their fullest potential.
