ARTOWN on the Quad: Reno Jazz Orchestra tribute to Quincy Jones

Details

By request for the UNR Quad off of 9th St:

Quincy Jones' legacy is a gift of everlasting music that will be reignited by the Reno Jazz Orchestra. For seven decades, Quincy Jones's genius emerged as a master musician, composer, arranger and producer. His award-winning brilliance evolved performing with Lionel Hampton, traveling the world as Dizzy Gillespie's music director, arranging for Count Basie and Frank Sinatra and producing Lesley Gore's 1960s hits, Michael Jackson's greatest tunes and the historic recording “We Are the World.” The Reno Jazz Orchestra has been based in Northern Nevada for over 25 years and was formed by musicians who performed and traveled the world with acts such as Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Elvis Presley, Natalie Cole, Luciano Pavarotti and other legendary performers.
