Other new genres include hip-hop, pop, folk, rock, indie, and classical.
Legendary producer Quincy Jones founded Qwest TV back in 2017, carefully curating music and shedding a light on ‘Jazz and Beyond’. Now, as Jones turned 88, Qwest TV announced the expansion of its catalog, exploring hip-hop, electronic, pop, folk, rock, indie, classical, and dance music, releasing new material on its SVOD platform.
‘Qwest TV’s catalog expansion represents not just Quincy Jones’ life-long mission. It also mirrors his career trajectory and expansive repertoire. Mr. Jones has always emphasized the links between different music types. He has played with nearly every ‘genre’ under the sun in his nearly nine decades and sees the future of music as a multicultural melting pot, where categories needn’t exist at all. ‘Good music is good music’ is something Duke Ellington told him back in the 1960s while dubbing him the one to ‘de-categorize’ American music.’, can be read in the press release.
With Qwest TV, Jones wants to reach millions of screens across the globe and share a wealth of unknown genres and styles, and put them on the same virtual stage as the classics and icons we know and love. Viewers are invited to explore filmed performances by a range of contemporary artists, across the world’s music festival stages, including Anderson .Paak, Bilal, Little Dragon, Mac DeMarco, Chromeo, Ty Segall, and Tyga, to name a few.
