Yesterday was International Jazz Day, and last night, ABC broadcast an edited version of the All-Star Global Concert that took place on the South Lawn of the White House on Friday. Just after Prince's death, Aretha Franklin went on MSNBC to speak about him (and speculate that he might've died from Zika virus), and at the White House concert, she paid tribute by singing "Purple Rain" as part of a Prince medley with Herbie Hancock, Terrace Martin, Robert Glasper, and more. The event also featured performances from Chick Corea, Esperanza Spalding, Buddy Guy, Sting, Wayne Shorter, Hugh Masekela, Al Jarreau, Pat Metheny, John McLaughlin, and many others. Watch the full 94-minute special, plus President Obama's opening remarks and a student workshop held by Michelle Obama and Herbie Hancock, below; the Prince tribute starts at around 1:11:50.
