When it all was over, We had to find another place. But Swiss time was running out, It seemed that we would lose the race. Smoke on the water and fire in the sky. Funky Claude Nobs, founder of the Montreux Jazz Festival, great visionnary and organizer passed away yesterday after 2 weeks in a coma, result of a cross-country sking accident. The music scene will be different without Claude. Montreux will be different.scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RIP. well yes he was mentionned Quote Funky Claude was running in and out he did so much for mix and matching musicians, making them feel at home in Montreux. We owe him, in between other great stuff, Under Pressure (Queen+Bowie). He was having a barbecue at home with these artists, and then pushed them in the studio as he had also a great sound engineer available.. Said : What are you guys doing here chatting on the terrace, get to work, do something.. 3 hours later the title was finished, mixed and ready scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
