Synopsis

June 1967, Lake Geneva Switzerland. A ball of energy named Claude Knobs embarks on one of the most exciting musical adventures of our time, one that shaped the history of live music forever. Over 50 years later the story of the Montreux Jazz Festival and its visionary creator is told in this ground breaking documentary by those who experienced it. Using unseen archive material and brand new interviews the film takes the viewer back in time to hear the trumpet of Miles Davis, the piano of Nina Simone and the guitar of BB King echo through 5 decades of candid recollections by dozens of the festival’s star performers and industry insiders. Never before has a documentary of this magnitude been made on the history of the Montreux Jazz Festival, offering a breath- taking panorama of half a century of music history and performances from some of the 20th century’s most important and greatest musical icons.
