Quincy Jones Is Going To Play At The Umbria Jazz Festival

The Umbria jazz festival is scheduled for July 13-22 in Perugia. Organizers have stated that with this year being the 45th anniversary of the festival, a "very high profile program" is being put into action. Many well-known Jazz artists will be performing. This includes the famous Quincy Jones, who will play on his 85th birthday at the Arena Santa Giuliana. Jones will be presenting great artists who have worked with him, including Patti Austin, Dee Dee Bridgewater, and Ivan Lins. Jones' original arrangements will be performed by the Umbria Jazz Orchestra directed by John Clayton with Nathan East & Harvey Mason. Quincy has worked with some of Isina’s mentors in the past and we couldn’t be happier for such a talented fellow!
