Born from the friendship between Quincy Jones and Claude Nobs, the Montreux Jazz Café concept was conceived as a way to offer festivalgoers a warm and friendly place where artists and music lovers could mingle.
Concerts, jam sessions, photo expositions and Montreux Jazz festival archives projections are some of the activities that took place in the first Montreux Jazz Café opened during the 36th Montreux Jazz Festival in 2000.
From that moment, the Montreux Jazz Café has become the ambassy of the festival; a place where living the Montreux Jazz Experience is possible. In June 2008 the Montreux Jazz Café Geneva was opened in Geneva’s Airport, followed by Montreux Jazz Café Sydney in May 2010.
The Montreux Jazz Universe will keep expanding. Next locations: Zurich and Paris.
The Montreux Jazz Festival was created by Claude Nobs in 1967. Nowadays, It has reached a unique position in the world of music thanks to this longevity and mainly to its founder’s approach of music based on conviviality and passion.
Since the very beginning, Claude Nobs has always been inviting artists to his place to share a good meal before and after concerts. This unique mix of music, food and feelings has given him a very privileged place into artist’s hearts.
