Montreux Jazz Festival – Alicia Keys

montreux2008

As usual (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007), we are going to the Jazz Montreux Festival this year. We will have the chance to listen to Alicia Keys (seems to be already sold-out):

Nine-time Grammy Awards winner Alicia Keys is back in Montreux after the release of her 3rd album: As I Am. Her 2004 show already seduced the audience of the Auditorium Stravinski. Since 2001, she has sold over 20 million albums worldwide. One of the few artists who can capture an old-school vibe and make if feel refreshingly new, Alicia tackles this feat once again with this new album.

The program this year is absolutely fantastic! Some examples:

  • Al Jarreau
  • Buddy Guy
  • Gilberto Gil
  • Herbie Hancock
  • Katie Melua
  • Leonard Cohen (!)
  • Paul Simon
  • Quincy Jones
  • Robert Cray
  • ….

If you cannot find something interesting in this program, you should perhaps buy new ears ;-)
