They All Came Out to Montreux

About This Movie

They All Came Out to Montreux is kind of a time capsule, really. It weaves together archival footage of legends like Prince and Aretha Franklin with the story of Claude Nobs, who had this vision for Montreux as a jazz haven. The film has this warm, nostalgic vibe that feels like a personal scrapbook of music history. The pacing is relaxed, letting moments breathe, which is fitting given the laid-back atmosphere of the festival. You really get a sense of how influential this little Swiss town became in the music world, and the performances shown are just a reminder of the magic these artists brought to the stage, captured beautifully through older footage. It's a love letter to both music and community.
