The Montreux Jazz Festival (formerly Festival de Jazz Montreux and Festival International de Jazz Montreux) is a music festival in Switzerland, held annually in early July in Montreux on the Lake Geneva shoreline. It is the second-largest annual jazz festival in the world after Canada's Montreal International Jazz Festival.[1]
Initiator and head organizer Claude Nobs brought an array of artists to Montreux.[2] Mathieu Jaton has organised the festival since Nobs' death in 2013.
