“Quincy
Jones and Friends” will be staged over three days from October 29-31,
2009, in a spectacular setting on the tip of the island of Bermuda,
surrounded by crystal blue waters and performed under the stars. On the
final night, October 31(st) (Halloween) there will be a special
performance of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” — 25 years after the
best-selling album of all-time was first produced by Quincy Jones.

During
this historic weekend of performances, Bermuda’s Premier Dr. the Hon.
Ewart F. Brown will honor Quincy Jones’ lifetime contributions to
culture and humanity with the African Diaspora Heritage Trail Award.
Jones changed the way music and philanthropy interact through his
star-studded collaboration “We Are the World”, the best-selling single
of all time. Produced and arranged by Quincy Jones, this single raised
$63 million for Ethiopian Famine Relief and shined a much-needed
spotlight on the Ethiopian drought.

This
year’s Bermuda Music Festival is sponsored by Fairmont Hotel &
Resorts Bermuda and is once again being produced by Gibraltar
Promotions LLC., in association with Yhoshi Productions LTD.
