Qwest TV, a global hub for music and culture co-founded by music mogul Quincy Jones announced a partnership with the Detroit Jazz Festival presented by Rocket Mortgage, the world’s largest (and best) free Jazz festival in the world, to livestream the Festival’s opening night concerts featuring legendary Cuban pianist and 2022 Artist-in-Residence Chucho Valdés, and New Orleans bred The Soul Rebels.
Last year’s Detroit Jazz Festival was an absolute killer, and this time will be no different! I’m honored to announce that, yet again, my beloved Qwest TV will be the broadcast partner to one of the most beautiful festivals in the world, right in the home of Motown, says co-founder Jones.
