Seattle Symphony pays tribute to Quincy

In February Seattle Symphony Orchestra performs a concert in honor of one of the greatest innovators in contemporary music, Quincy Jones. Jones' prolific legacy as a producer, songwriter and performer has created genre-defining shifts across pop, soul, jazz, funk and hip-hop, leaving an indelible mark on the modern music landscape.

From his work as a composer, arranger or producer with greats such as Michael Jackson, Count Basie, Aretha Franklin and Louis Armstrong, to his own solo output as a bandleader and soundtrack composer, Jones' record 28 Grammy Awards (the most Grammys for a living person) is testament to his footprint on contemporary music. Seattle Symphony's tribute performance is led by conductor James Buckley, with guest performers including vocalists Shela, Jonas Nilsson and more.
