More than jazz in Montreux. Montreux, Switzerland and all that jazz

We’re looking at Lake Geneva and Montreux, Switzerland, where the Montreux Jazz Festival begins today. Despite its name, the festival isn't just about jazz. It highlights different styles of music across multiple venues over two weeks. This year's line-up includes three farewell-tour stops (Sir Elton John, Anita Baker, Joan Baez) and big names in jazz, as well as young artists representing a variety of genres. The festival began in 1967 at the original Montreux Casino, which famously burned down during a December 1971 Frank Zappa performance. The fire was memorialised by Deep Purple in their hit Smoke on the Water. A monument commemorating the band and their song can be found next to the rebuilt casino.
