Quincy Jones Tribute at Ardmore Music Hall

York Street Hustle honors Quincy Jones

A stirring tribute to the iconic Quincy Jones, the groundbreaking producer, composer, and arranger who passed away last fall is coming to the Philadelphia region. On Saturday, May 3, Ardmore Music Hall will host an evening of performances dedicated to Quincy Jones’ timeless R&B, soundtrack work, and unforgettable collaborations with legends like Michael Jackson, the Brothers Johnson, and Aretha Franklin. This special night, billed as “The Soul of Quincy Jones,” is part of the We Live On Foundation’s ongoing fundraising concert series, an initiative spearheaded by promoter Derek Dorsey, who has been courageously battling a rare neurological disorder for the past five years. All proceeds will support those facing profound health obstacles.

York Street Hustle, a classic soul tribute band renowned for reviving vintage grooves, will headline a program devoted entirely to Jones. The group plans to deliver faithful renditions of the Jone’s catalog, including soundtrack highlights from “The Color Purple” and “The Wiz.” The band’s 11-member lineup has already previewed its homage by releasing “Sister From Texas,” originally cut by Aretha Franklin under the production of Quincy Jones for her album “Hey Now Hey (The Other Side of the Sky).”

The Soul of Quincy Jones

The Soul of Quincy Jones event reflects Derek Dorsey’s mission to raise awareness and resources for those with severe health challenges. Vocal powerhouse Lady Alma, known for her soulful house collaborations, is among the many special guests slated to appear. Also joining the tribute are Andrew Lipke, Cookie Rabinowitz, TanQueray Hayward, Susan Rosetti, John Swana, Kevin Bentley, Chelsea Mitchell, and Ash Phillips—an all-star cast sure to elevate the spirit of collaboration and gratitude.

The Soul of Quincy Jones concert at Ardmore Music Hall promises a night of soulful hits, cinematic melodies, and communal joy befitting the legacy he left behind. Tickets for both seated and general admission sections are now available through Ardmore Music Hall’s official website.
