Notes:
Montreux Jazz said the VOD would only be available for something like 8 hours after the show ended,
and I knew I'd be at work by that time, so I stayed up a little late and caught the whole thing live
and captured it before heading to bed. Sure enough, it's no longer available to watch.

While the broadcast video is in a 1920x1080 frame, the actual video content is letterboxed and is
only 1920x800. That's simply how the stream was cast. Maybe the cinematic frame means this will see
an official eventually, but I wasn't able to find anything even hinting toward that. Maybe someone
more familiar with Montreux Jazz casts can chime in on whether this format is typical for them. The
video is excellent, if sometimes clearly a webcast, and the audio mix is beautifully balanced.

Billed as a celebration of both Chaka Khan's 50 years of music and a tribute to to the late Quincy
Jones. Chaka Khan's music bookends the set with the tribute to Q taking up the middle as well as the
bulk of the performance. Chaka also bookends the tribute portion of the set, and gives the incredible
guest singers she had with her the majority of the stage time for the opportunity to say their pieces.
The tribute consists of Quincy originals, covers, and songs he produced. There is a 12-minute pause
about halfway through the Quincy tribute portion of the show, although, confusingly, it is announced
as a 30-minute pause.

I've included timestamps for where everything is since there's a lot. There's banter between every
song, so I didn't bother to mark that out. I also marked which singers are on stage for which tunes
since there are so many and they aren't typically all on stage at once. Any help on identifying the
band members on stage is helpful. I've got most of them, but there are a few leaving me stumped,
including the second guitarist and horn sectionists. There are also two additional background singers
on stage with the main three only some of the time, and occasionally one of them swaps out with the main
three; further compounding difficulties is that they don't always stay in the same position relative
to each other from song to song. Unfortunately, the end credits do not mention the band members.
