Montreux Jazz Festival 2007

This summer will see the Swiss invaded by the biggest big band in the business (allegedly) as SLJO goes to the 41st Montreux Jazz Festival!

On the 18th of July the band and its groupies start a 4-day sojourn in Lausanne, a beautiful city in the French speaking region of Switzerland. There's Roman stuff, pretty castles, Olympic Committees and, most importantly, some great vineyards.

On the 19th and 20th the band will play on the Parc Vernex stage as part of the 'Under the Sky' Festival. Switzerland you have been warned!

Famous Swiss people:

  1. William Tell
  2. Ursula Andress
  3. Yul Bryner
  4. Martina Hingis
  5. Lee Scratch Perry
