42nd Montreux Jazz Festival in Montreux, Switzerland
The Montreux Jazz Festival has become the musical's most compelling of the year. The festival attracts more and more and coming talent than any other music event in the world.
That said, in 1967, the first Montreux Jazz Festival came to life. The festival was held in Montreux Casino. It lasted three days and featured almost exclusively jazz artists. Highlights of this era were Keith Jarrett, Jack DeJohnette, Bill Evans, Soft Machine, Weather Report, Nina Simone, Jan Garbarek, and Ella Fitzgerald.
Originally a single festival jazz, it opened it was the place of gender in the 1970s and today presents artists of nearly every style of music imaginable. Jazz remains an important part of the festival. Festival now lasts about two weeks and attracts over 200,000 people.
In the 1970s, the festival began broadening its scope, including blues, soul and rock artists. In December 1971, Montreux Casino burned (immortalized in the Deep Purple song "Smoke on the Water"). The festival has been forced to relocate until the new casino was completed in 1975.
Towards the end of the decade, the festival will increase even more, including music from all continents and lasting a full three weeks. Santana came to Montreux for the first time in 1970, Van Morrison played in 1974. Other artists of Weather Report, Camarn de la Isla, Soft Machine, Chuck Berry, Eric Clapton, Bo Diddley, Stan Getz, Airto Moreira, Joe Henderson, Dizzy Gillespie, Oscar Peterson, Charles Mingus, Etta James, Sonny Rollins, Count Basie, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, BB King, Gilberto Gil, Ray Charles, James Booker, Hermeto Pascoal, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Rory Gallagher, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Elis Regina, Les McCann, Eddie Harris, Pasadena Roof Orchestra New Order, Jaco Pastorius, Ringo Starr and his All Starr Band, and more.
Incidentally, Stevie Ray Vaughan was booed when performing on stage in'83, people were not ready for hi-energy string bending blues All Out. He also won a Grammy for her. SRV in Montreux is one of, if not the best DVD guitar ever. Get it and love.
Montreux, is distinguished by its ambitious programming choices, for two weeks in 2008, from July 4th to July 19th, the 42nd annual Jazz Festival in Montreux 2008 offers an ideal platform for musicians in a setting intimate.
