Prince performs at the Jazz Festival this year bringing excitement along the shores of lake Geneva. One of Europe’s most famous festivals brings the likes of B.B. King, Herbie Hancock, Black Eyed Peas and Grace Jones, Quincy Jones and there will be a tribute to the soul singer Nina Simone.  There are jazz sessions scheduled in the Stravinski Auditorium and through out Montreux where you not only listen to great music late into the night but can also enjoy one of the most beautiful towns in Switzerland. There are free sessions during the day along the Promenade and plenty of café's and food stands to help keep your energy up for those late night jazz sessions. Views of the lake are especially fun cruising along the lake in the sleek steamboats visiting not only the shores of Switzerland but also France.

[q url="Founded by Claude Nobs in 1967, over the years the Montreux Jazz Festival has become an unmissable event for music fans in Switzerland and around the world. Its stages have been graced by all of music’s greats, from Miles Davis to Ray Charles and from David Bowie to Massive Attack. Whereas Jazz constitutes the Festival’s historic core, other styles of music were quickly integrated into the Festival, bound together by a common thread of mutual curiosity and enthusiasm. Having made its reputation with its ambitious programming choices, the Montreux Jazz Festival offers musicians an ideal platform and an intimate setting for the duration of its two weeks. "[/q]
