Qwest TV

Quincy Jones' music-focused SVOD service has curated a Black History Month playlist featuring concert videos from American legends including Gil Scott-Heron, Nina Simone, James Brown, Aretha Franklin and Sun Ra, and African greats such as Les Amazones d'Afrique, Salif Keita and a tribute to Fela Kuti. The platform's curators also have released 66 rare videos, recorded by France's Audiovisual Institute in the 1960s and '70s, featuring personal anecdotes from Jones and spotlighting the refuge that Black American jazz artists found abroad during that era. The entire catalog is available for free to educational institutions through the Qwest TV EDU initiative.
