QUINCY JONES & CLAUDE NOBS PRESENT: MONTREUX JAZZ FESTIVAL 1991 & 1992
When I started the Festival back in 1967 with two friends, I had a budget of US$ 7000 for a three-day event. I called it the International Montreux Jazz Festival because we had bands from all over Europe and one American band: Charles Lloyd with Keith Jarrett.
I never dreamt that nearly a quarter of a century later I would have the tremendous honor of having Quincy Jones co-produce the Festival for three years, in 1991, 1992 and 1993.
In 1991 and 1992, Sony recorded the entire Festival in High-Definition Television for the first time. Together with Quincy, I had the privilege of witnessing some of the extraordinary moments that you will enjoy on this DVD.
The mixture of styles is something that the Montreux audience has been exposed to since the Festival’s very earliest days.
This DVD is a perfect combination of sound and vision and is giving us the pleasure of the little glimpses, smiles, tears and the whole emotion generated when high-definition recording and the finest possible sound come together.
