To Q with Love
A Tribute to the Music of Quincy Jones

feat. Siedah Garrett, Lalah Hathaway, Rahsaan Patterson, Mica Paris, jan SEVEN dettwyler, & Marc Sway

This summer’s Festival couldn’t have started any differently: an exceptional evening will pay tribute to the work of Quincy Jones, led by Chaka Khan and several special guests who have collaborated with him in Montreux and throughout the world.

The Festival’s opening night will be held in two parts: the first part will be devoted to Chaka Khan’s 50-year career, as part of her current tour. The second part will be a unique show dedicated to Quincy Jones, created by the iconic American diva exclusively for Montreux.

Quincy Jones’ star singers
The evening brings together two great voices who have left their mark on Quincy Jones’s discography: Chaka Khan and Siedah Garrett. Chaka and Quincy notably worked together on the album Masterjam (1979) and the producer’s greatest hits, such as “Stuff Like That” and “I’ll Be Good to You”, a duet with Ray Charles.
Siedah Garrett lent her voice and songwriting to Quincy Jones’ album Back on the Block (1989). She also sang a duet with Michael Jackson on “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You” and co-wrote his hit “Man in the Mirror”.

Memories of legendary evenings
To Quincy With Love will be an opportunity to relive the unique atmosphere that reigned on stage during the evenings organised by Quincy in Montreux, where a plethora of guests crossed paths. Among them will be American artists Rahsaan Patterson and Lalah Hathaway, British singer Mica Paris, and Swiss musicians Marc Sway and jan SEVEN dettwyler, all of whom took part in Q’s major shows at the Montreux Jazz Festival.
