In 1967, one man started a musical revolution that turned a sleepy town on Lake Geneva into one of the most famous festivals ever. Claude Nobs had virtually no knowledge of the music industry, yet with drive and passion, he enticed artists such as Aretha Franklin, David Bowie, Etta James, Prince, and many more to "come out to Montreux."

Claude constantly filmed the proceedings each year, resulting in an archive of extraordinary depth, much of which has never been seen. From revelatory live performances to jaw-dropping b-roll and interviews, this extraordinary film provides a window into the famous Montreux Jazz Festival, which is still going strong today.
