From B.B.King's blues to the soul of Beverley Knight, from REM
to American College bands, the Montreux Jazz Festival is the most successful and
respected European jazz festival in the world. Over the last 30 years it has
attracted the finest artists and remains the dream-child of one individual -
Claude Nobs. This DVD presentation follows Nobs during the 1999 festival, as he
books, entertains and performs with some of the world's greatest musicians. This
documentary also features Miles Davis, BB King, Aretha Franklin, George Duke,
Peter Buck & Michael Stipe, and more. Special features include the complete
BB King Montreux Workshop.
