Easter Monday 2018, Montreux Jazz memories

Today we visited an exhibition about the Montreux Jazz Festival at the Landesmuseum in Zurich. It was great - featuring posters, souvenirs and memories from the first 50 years of the festival which started in 1967. The best exhibit was a big screen cinema featuring colour videos of some of the great jazz legends performing - including Marvin Gaye, Van Morrison, Etta James, Miles Davis, BB King, Deep Purple and Santana. We could have sat there for much longer!

Richard and I attended the Montreux festival in July 2016, when we saw Al Jarreau. It was a great weekend, and we also enjoyed all the bands performing out of doors along the lakeside.
