An intimate look into the life of icon Quincy Jones. A unique force in music and popular culture for 70 years, Jones has transcended racial and cultural boundaries; his story is inextricably woven into the fabric of America.

Du 5éme des Arts de Shiraz

Feb 5, 1971

The creation of Iannis Xenakis’ « Persephassa » at the Shiraz-Persepolis Art Festival.

When it was created in Persepolis, each percussionist was settled on the stump of a column of the Palace of Darius. The distance between them could go as far as 164 feet (50 metres).
