Founded in 1967, the Montreux Jazz Festival has established itself as one of the most prestigious annual music events in the world. The extraordinary list of artists who have played there is drawn from across the musical spectrum and from around the world. Now, with the consent of the festival and the artists, Eagle Vision is making these concerts available on DVD for the first time.
Six artists, accompanied by a jazz quartet led by pianist Baptiste Trotignon, paid homage to Edith Piaf. Angelique Kidjo, from Benin, and the Swiss Michael Von der Heide, reminded us of her importance in the French speaking world. Catherine Riner and Regine highlight how much she played with musical types and styles. Ute Lumper proved, once again, the universality of this friend of Marlene Dietrich. And Barbara Morrison, the great American voice, suggests that the little lady in black incarnated a special sentiment "a la francaise."
