MONTREUX JAZZ FESTIVAL ( MONTREUX, SWITZERLAND)

 Montreux Jazz Festival, celebration of jazz and well known music, comprising fundamentally of shows and rivalries, held every year in Montreux, Switz. 

The primary Montreux Jazz Festival was held in 1967 at the Montreux Casino sitting above Lake Geneva. It was a three-day occasion including the Charles Lloyd Quartet, an American gathering, close by twelve members in a rivalry for European jazz specialists. Organized again the next year, the celebration was stretched out to five days to oblige more visitor specialists—most outstandingly the American musician Bill Evans and the American singer Nina Simone—and expanded interest in the opposition. The Montreux Jazz Festival therefore turned into a yearly issue, and it kept on developing, both in term and in scope. By the last part of the 1970s it ordinarily spread over about fourteen days in ahead of schedule to mid-July and enveloped jazz as well as a diverse blend of blues, gospel, soul, rock, and other famous music classes. 

As the celebration acquired in fame, it grew out of the Montreux Casino, and in 1993 it moved to the Montreux Convention Center, which gave various theaters and occasion spaces. In the mean time, the celebration exercises turned out to be progressively different, accepting studios, talks, films, and different occasions. Separate rivalries were set up for specific instruments, and numerous non-European artists joined the positions of the challengers. An exceptional challenge—called Tremplin Lémanique ("Springboard of Lake Geneva")— for nearby groups was introduced in 2008. At this point the celebration had spread past the bounds of the conference hall to local scenes, including parks, trains, boats, and little indoor settings. Among tagged and free occasions, the crowd numbered in the many thousands.
