On July 14 2008, the Montreux Jazz Festival honoured music legend Quincy Jones with this spectacular all-star concert.
Among those paying tribute to their musical hero were Petula Clark, Herbie Hancock, Mick Hucknall, Al Jarreau, Chaka Khan, Beverley Knight, James Morrison, Nana Mouskouri, Paolo Nutini, and Curtis Stigers. With this being Jones' 75th birthday, the party atmosphere lasted well into the night!
