Editor's Info:
BMG and The Montreux Jazz Festival have today announced the release of “Michel Petrucciani: The Montreux Years” on Friday 07 April 2023 and available to pre-order now. The brand-new release in The Montreux Years series is a collection of Michel Petrucciani’s most memorable performances at the Montreux Jazz Festival from 1990 – 1998.

The Montreux Jazz Festival is without doubt one of the most iconic music festivals on the global festival scene. Originally created by Claude Nobs and held annually in Montreux, Switzerland across two weeks in July the festival continues to draw yearly over 250,000 music lovers from all across the world to the Lake Geneva shoreline.

Now in its 55th year, the Montreux Jazz Festival continues to celebrate the industry’s emerging and contemporary acts, whilst paying homage to music’s legendary acts. Originally a pure jazz festival since inception in 1967, Montreux began showcasing other styles of music throughout the decades and today presents artists from across every genre imaginable. Artists that have graced the stage of Montreux include Etta James, Bob Dylan, Elton John, Ms Lauren Hill, Aretha Franklin, David Bowie, James Brown, Kendrick Lamar, Leonard Cohen, Marvin Gaye, Miles Davis, Nina Simone and many more.

With such a rich history, it’s no wounder that the festival has built a large archive of audio and visual content that now resides in and is presided by the Claude Nobs Foundation, in fact the collection is one of the World’s largest private collections of live music recordings – all of which were recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival (Switzerland) since 1967 and inscribed in 2013 on UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register. In 1973, Nobs founded ‘Montreux Sounds’ as a vehicle to gradually release many of the 5000 concerts under the title “Live at the Montreux” recorded both in audio and video to the public and has published already more than 450 major artists, live on the same stage, including shows dating back to the late 1960s on the website www.montreuxsounds.com.

In 2021 ‘Montreux Sounds’ in partnership with BMG launched a series under the title ‘The Montreux Years’ the see’s many of these classic recordings now issued in multi-format configurations including superior audiophile heavyweight vinyl, MQA quality CD and HD digital. ‘The Montreux Years’ is according to Mathieu Jaton, CEO of Montreux Jazz “the embodiment of the spirit of the Montreux Jazz Festival and the legacy of its much-loved founder, Claude Nobs. Nobs refused to compromise on quality or settle for anything other than the best and this ethos lives on in the superb quality of the recordings compiled in The Montreux Years”. The Montreux Years series, which began with musical titans Nina Simone and Etta James, followed by Marianne Faithfull and Muddy Waters, John McLaughlin and Chick Corea.
