Spending a few day in the Alps during summer is a very recreative thing itself. Combined with relaxing at the shore of Lake Geneva during the day to dip into the atmosphere of the Montreux Jazz Festival in the evenings and listening to mindblowing artists doing their thing in front of thousands of people is really quite hard to beat!
The new show is inspired by a little jazz holiday in Switzerland, enjoy wherever you´re spending your summer at the moment!
