Grammy Award-winning artist Larnell Lewis leads an electrifying tribute to a living legend who transformed the global music landscape. Over six decades, Quincy Jones shaped the sound of popular music, masterfully bridging jazz, rock, rhythm and blues, pop, and hip-hop.
The evening spotlights selections from Q's phenomenal solo works including "The Dude," "Back on The Block," and "Q's Jook Joint," alongside chart-topping hits he produced for Patti Austin, The Brothers Johnson, and Michael Jackson. With an uncanny ability to understand and elevate every artist he works with, Jones created a blueprint for musical collaboration that continues to inspire generations.
Toronto's most brilliant performers unite on stage to pay homage to this visionary producer, composer, and artistic force. Guiding the night with masterful musicianship and deep reverence, Larnell Lewis brings his signature versatility and collaborative spirit—hallmarks of his own celebrated career—to reimagine Jones' timeless sound. As the Opening Night event of Luminato's weekend at Harbourfront Centre, prepare for a powerful celebration that captures the essence of an icon who proved music knows no boundaries.
