Two legendary voices of music unite for a jumping good time on their 2015 collaboration "52nd & Broadway". Patti shines with a flair and grace to make you feel the groove in a performance which demonstrates her longtime mastery of Jazz singing, dancing the night away to the Big Bang swing of Patrick Williams who provides the perfect soundtrack to evoke the joy of NYC.
From Patrick Williams' 2015 album "Home Suite Home" featuring Dave Grusin, Frank Sinatra Jr. Peter Erskine and more.
Veteran drummer Dennis Chambers shows off on drums while teaming with top-notch talent for the funky and soulful meeting of musical minds known as "Groove and More". Having provided the rhythm for John Scofield, George Duke, Brecker Brothers, Santana, Parliament/Funkadelic, John McLaughlin and others, Dennis brings refined talent on percussion in 2013 to inspire each guest and give each song a strong foundation of energy.
Whether grooving on a paced paced Funk or Jazz-Rock fusion track laced with exciting solos or a slower rhythm which supports the performance of a vocalist, Dennis Chambers' "Groove and More" packs an ear-full in an entertianing sound of musicians feeding off each other's vibe and getting down.
Producer, arranger, conductor, film composer, and trumpeter Quincy Jones has been at the forefront of modern American music since his years as a student at Berklee in the 1950s. He has arranged for Dizzy Gillespie and Frank Sinatra; produced Michael Jackson, Miles Davis, and Ray Charles; scored Oscar-winning films; and has received 27 Grammy Awards. Tonight, Berklee students and faculty pay tribute to “Q” with new arrangements of his enduring music in honor of his 80th birthday.
In honor of Jones’s 80th birthday in March, his alma mater celebrated this musical visionary with a 30-piece orchestra of faculty and students performing new arrangements of selections from his enduring musical legacy. Special guests and frequent Jones collaborators include Siedah Garrett and Patti Austin.
Under the direction of Rob Rose and Ken Zambello, the concert will highlight music from Jones’s entire career, featuring songs he wrote or produced for Michael Jackson, Tamia, and James Ingram, and for movies like The Wiz, The Color Purple, and In the Heat of the Night. Selections from his Grammy Award-winning albums The Dude and Back on the Block will also be featured.
Grammy Award-winning and Academy Award-nominated singer-songwriter Garrett has cowritten a number of hit songs with Jones. Five songs credit Garrett as a cowriter on Back on the Block, and the track “The Places You Find Love” highlights her lead vocals. She and Jones wrote the theme song for the opening ceremony of the 2007 Special Olympics, and the opener of the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai. Garrett co-wrote the #1 single “Man in the Mirror” and sang the duet “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You” on Michael Jackson’s Bad, which Jones produced.
Austin, a Grammy Award-winning vocal stylist, is Jones’ goddaughter. Jones produced many of her biggest hit songs, including “How Do You Keep the Music Playing" and “Baby Come to Me,” both duets with James Ingram. She sang with Michael Jackson on “It's the Falling in Love" from his Off The Wall album, produced by Jones. She performed on The Dude, and scored two Top 10 jazz albums, Every Home Should Have One and The Real Me, while signed to his Qwest label.
