The team behind Switzerland’s Montreux Jazz Festival is making dozens of performances from the fest’s history available to watch for free. The offerings include concerts from Nina Simone (1976), Lou Reed (2000), Johnny Cash (1994), Marvin Gaye (1980), and Wu-Tang Clan (2007). Learn more below and check out the concerts at Stingray Qello.
The 2020 Montreaux Jazz Festival is scheduled to take place July 3–18. In a statement, the Festival management said it “is closely assessing developments in conjunction with both the authorities and those involved in the organization of the event,” and that the “team is therefore continuing its work, in hope and humility, to enable this year’s Festival to happen under the best possible conditions.”
