Episode 2
Jamie Cullum talks to founder of the Montreux Jazz Festival Claude Nobs about the history of the event and his personal memories of the musicians who have played there.
In the second part of Radio 2's Montreux Jazz Festival coverage, Jamie Cullum hears founder Claude Nobs' personal favourites from the past 42 years.
Founded in 1967, the Montreux Jazz Festival has become an unmissable event for music fans in Switzerland and around the world. Its stages have been graced by some of music's greats, from Miles Davis to Ray Charles and from David Bowie to Massive Attack. Whereas jazz constitutes the festival's historic core, other styles of music were quickly integrated.
Claude's dream concert includes Rachelle Ferrell in 1991, James Booker from 1978, Simply Red in 1986 and the Bill Evans Trio from 1968, and we're treated to spontaneous harmonica playing by Claude himself.
The series concludes in August with four half hour programmes of highlights from the 43rd Montreux Jazz Festival.
