They All Came Out to Montreux

The extraordinary story of the world-famous Montreux Jazz Festival and its beloved founder, Claude Nobs.

Starting in 1967, with practically no knowledge of the music industry, Claude Nobs began turning his sleepy hometown on the shores of Lake Geneva into a destination for international music artists.

Aretha Franklin, Nina Simone, David Bowie, Miles Davis, Etta James, Prince, Talking Heads... the list goes on, and eventually they all came out to Montreux. And when they did, Claude filmed and recorded everything in meticulous detail, resulting in a UNESCO recognised archive of extraordinary depth and quality.

From revelatory live performances to jaw-dropping and intimate interview footage, this documentary miniseries provides an immersive window into the unique world of Claude Nobs and his love for music.
