July 19: A Tribute to Quincy Jones

On November, 2025, the world lost the legendary Quincy Jones. This special tribute celebrates his extraordinary legacy as a producer, songwriter, and musician. Experience the power of his iconic big band classics and the unforgettable hits he created with Ray Charles. Let the Good Times Roll - featuring Berget Lewis and the Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw.

The remarkable musical diversity of Quincy Jones takes centre stage in this unforgettable tribute. It is nearly impossible to overstate Quincy Jones’ influence on the music world. The jazz trumpeter evolved into an arranger, composer, producer, and big band leader.

He has collaborated with the greatest artists in history, spanning genres as diverse as jazz, soul, pop, and beyond - from Dizzy Gillespie and Ray Charles to Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, and Miles Davis. He is also the mastermind behind Thriller, Michael Jackson’s iconic album.  

Before intermission, the Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw brings Jones’s legendary big band sound to life. Iconic albums like The Quintessence and Big Band Bossa Nova transformed the big band sound with fresh grooves and exotic melodies.

The concert’s second half highlights the extraordinary friendship between Quincy Jones and Ray Charles, featuring the timeless songs they recorded together, with the sensational vocalist Berget Lewis taking on the vocals.
