LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, October 3, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- IL Palato Italiano Executive Chef Filippo Sinisgalli known as the "Italian Chef to the Stars," joined celebrities for the award-winning Quincy “Q” Jones' 85th birthday celebration and musical tribute on September 25 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California. During his illustrious sixty-year career, Jones earned 79 Grammy nominations and 28 Grammy Awards.

"Quincy Jones is a treasure to the world," said Sinisgalli who traveled from Bolzano, Italy to attend the Q85 event. "It was an honor to meet a living legend and celebrate his birthday milestone with so many talented people in the TV, film and music industry." Jones, who is from Chicago, Illinois, is a true pioneer and visionary. During his lifetime, he has worn many hats as a conductor, actor, musician, record producer, composer, arranger, television producer, instrumentalis, magazine founder, company executive and humanitarian. The music icon is memorialized in the new documentary “Quincy,” directed by actress Rashida Jones, his daughter, which is available on Netflix as well as a limited theatrical release.

The star-studded event was hosted by Jones' long-time friend entertainment mogul Oprah Winfrey who was discovered by Jones for her role as Sofia in the 11-time Oscar nominated “Color Purple.” Performers from around the world paid tribute to Jones and honored his legacy. The stage was graced by Stevie Wonder, Ne-Yo, Meghan Trainor, Jennifer Hudson, John Legend, Patti Austin, Gloria Estefan, Charlie Wilson, Ledisi, Yolanda Adams, Fantasia, Meghan Trainor, LL Cool J, Ludacris, and many more.

Both the worlds and schools of thought with Jones and Sinisgalli, in their respective areas of expertise and as humanitarians, are not too different. The Michelin Starred Chef Sinisgalli is known in Hollywood as the master of creating a strictly “Made-in-Italy” food experience. As a connoisseur of Italian gastronomic culture and a tireless talent scout, Chef Sinisgalli is Il Palato Italiano’s ambassador in Italy and around the world. For the second consecutive year, Il Palato Italiano is one of the main sponsors and donors of the annual Celebrity Fight Night Italy, one of the most important charity events brought to Italy by the Golden Globe award-winning Italian singer, songwriter, and record producer Andrea Bocelli. The event benefits the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center and the Andrea Bocelli Foundation.

Jones’ legacy and body of work places him as a modern-day impresario of global entertainment. Jones is undoubtedly a master of discovering and cultivating talent, creating, arranging and producing timeless music. During his lifetime, Jones has brought the world visual and audio experiences that are unforgettable. Among the many philanthropic works that Jones has spearheaded, one of his projects, the School’s Center for Health Communication through Project Q, is a strategic initiative to advance the health and well-being of children worldwide.
