Montreux Jazz Festival CEO on the magic of the music festival
As media partner of the Montreux Jazz Festival, The Independent sat down with the festival's CEO Mathieu Jaton to find out what makes Montreux such a special music event for artists and fans alike.
Mathieu explains about the Swiss-based music festival's origins and how no curfews and a jam session space make Montreux such a special place for musicians to come to and why it's attracted the likes of David Bowie, Prince plus many others.
