2024 14

Date	Musicians	Location / event	Rating
2024-12-08	Maxime Pitois, Orchestre de Ribaupierre, and Iván Orlín	Salle Paderewski, Casino de Montbenon, Lausanne, Switzerland Musique & gourmandises	(3.75)
We could only stay for the first part (Tchaïkovski, Concerto pour violon en ré majeur op. 35), unfortunately, as our son was sick. The soloist was impressive.
2024-10-30	Branford Marsalis, Joey Calderazzo, Eric Revis, and Justin Faulkner	Salle Paderewski, Casino de Montbenon, Lausanne, Switzerland JazzOnze+ Festival Lausanne	(3.75)
I didn't really know what to expect, as I was not familiar with Marsalis' work outside of what he did with Miles Davis and Sting, and I only knew Joey Calderazzo from his work with Michael Brecker. The musicianship was great and the musicians seemed happy to play (laughing and exchanging jokes). My only reservation was that Justin Faulkner, the drummer, can be very, very loud and took a bit too much space to my liking. At the same time, he was quite impressive.
2024-10-29	Avishai Cohen, Guy Moskovich, and Roni Kaspi	Salle Paderewski, Casino de Montbenon, Lausanne, Switzerland JazzOnze+ Festival Lausanne	(4.0)
A tight and generous performance. Roni Kaspi was quite impressive, in particular.
2024-10-06	Jean-Sébastien Bou, Olga Kulchynska, Julien Dran, Elisabeth Boudreault, Géraldine Chauvet, Frédéric Caton, Luigi De Donato, Sahy Ratia, Jean Miannay, Warren Kempf, Marc Scoffoni, Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, Francesco Lanzillotta, Chœur de l’Opéra de Lausanne, and Alessandro Zuppardo	Opéra de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland Guillaume Tell opera	(3.75)
Guillaume Tell opera (Gioachino Rossini), directed by Bruno Ravella. Apart from the overture, which is very famous, I didn't know anything about this long opera. All the singers were excellent. I was not particularly touched/moved by some of the themes (patriotism, freedom/tyranny).
2024-07-26	Olivia Ruiz, ?, ?, ?, ?, and ?	Grande Scène, Nyon, Switzerland Paléo Festival de Nyon	(2.5)
Unknown musicians. The older songs were pretty good. I'm not familiar with her new album. We saw a bit of Véronique Sanson after that (not my cup of tea). My son's first Paléo Festival.
2024-07-26	La Radicale: Bertrand Blessing and Laura Boudou	La Ruche, Nyon, Switzerland Paléo Festival de Nyon	(2.5)
Tracas#1 show by the Compagnie La Radicale. Not really a concert per se. More of an artistic performance with music? We saw a bit of L'Armée du Chahut before that (acapella band, with seven singers).
2024-07-18	Janelle Monáe, Kellindo Parker, Lessie Vonner, Lorenzo Nelson, Dearcus Curry, and Kyla Wright	Scène du Lac, Montreux, Switzerland Montreux Jazz Festival	(3.5)
I last saw Janelle live in 2012, in Montreux. I really like her 2007-2010 output. I love her duet with Prince (2013). I kind of lost interest after that. Her show was impressive visually, but not that much musically. Her cover of "Let's Go Crazy" was very average.
2024-07-18	Raye, Matthew Brooks, Paul Murray, Olivia Thompson, Daniella Bernard, Daniel Ellis, Michael Cordone, Graeme Blevins, Daniel Higham, and Thomas Richards	Scène du Lac, Montreux, Switzerland Montreux Jazz Festival	(3.75)
I didn't know Raye at all. I was pleasantly surprised. She was clearly happy to be there. Part of her Swiss family was in the audience. She exuded a lot of positive energy.
2024-07-13	Mathieu Herzog and Orchestre Appassionato	Espace Saint-Marc, Le Châble, Switzerland Rencontres Verbier Musique & Cinéma	(3.5)
"Concert Famille: L'univers de Disney par l'Orcherstre Synphonique Appassionato Venez rêver au rythme des mélodies entêtantes des plus beaux films Disney." Another concert with our son. That was fun. The conductor had a great sense of humor.
2024-06-22	Gaëtan: Gaëtan Cruchet, Arsène Liechti, and Orchestre de Chambre de Genève	Théâtre de Beausobre, Morges, Switzerland Diabolo Festival	(3.25)
Pierre et le loup and original songs. My son's second Gaëtan concert.
2024-04-09	Yaron Herman	Temple, Cully, Switzerland Cully Jazz Festival	(4.0)
My 12^th Yaron Herman concert and the 3^rd one at the Temple in Cully. Fantastic concert. We were right behind Yaron (2 meters away?), so were able to see his hands "fly" on the keyboard. Impressive.
2024-04-06	Portico Quartet: Duncan Bellamy, Jack Wyllie, Milo Fitzpatrick, and Taz Modi	Chapiteau, Cully, Switzerland Cully Jazz Festival	(2.75)
The drummer was pretty good. The other musicians left me cold and the music was quite repetitive.
2024-04-06	Avishai Cohen Quartet: Avishai Cohen (trp), Barak Mori, Yonathan Avishai, and Ziv Ravitz	Chapiteau, Cully, Switzerland Cully Jazz Festival	(3.75)
My first Avishai Cohen (trumpet) concert. I had already seen Ziv Ravitz three times with Yaron Herman. Their interpretation of Maurice Ravel's Concerto For Piano And Orchestra In G (2nd Movement) was beautiful.
2024-02-04	Arianna Vendittelli, Wallis Giunta, Pavel Petrov, Robert Gleadow, Rubén Amoretti, Marie Lys, Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, Diego Fasolis, Chœur de l’Opéra de Lausanne, and Diego Fasolis	Opéra de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland Così fan tutte opera	(4.0)
Così fan tutte opera (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart), directed by Jean Liermier. A convincing and entertaining reality TV version of this opera, which completely makes sense, when you think about it. It was already played in 2018, with a different set of musicians (except for Robert Gleadow).

2023 5

Date	Musicians	Location / event	Rating
2023-11-12	Nuada Le Drève, Rémi Ortega, Maxence Billiemaz, Emma Delannoy, Jean Miannay, Aurélie Brémond, Ludmila Schwartzwalder, Orchestre de la Haute école de Musique de Lausanne, and Marc Leroy-Calatayud	Opéra de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland Cendrillon opera	(3.75)
Cendrillon opera (Pauline Viardot), directed by Gilles Rico. Our 5-and-a-half-year-old son's first opera. He loved it.
2023-07-25	Brad Mehldau	Église de Verbier, Verbier, Switzerland Verbier Festival	(4.0)
I saw Brad almost one year before exactly at the same venue. The format was more or less the same, with maybe more original compositions than pop/rock songs this time. A very "generous" concert, like the previous one, with four encores.
2023-07-15	Cory Wong, Kevin Gastonguay, Yohannes Tona, Petar Janjic, Michael B. Nelson, Tay Webb, Kenni Holmen, Jake Boffs, and Alex Bone	Auditorium Stravinski, Montreux, Switzerland Montreux Jazz Festival	(3.75)
I've heard Cory Wong a lot on his YouTube channel. I discovered him in 2022, realizing that he was playing with two former Prince musicians (Sonny Thompson and Michael B. Nelson). I was a bit disappointed to see that Sonny was not part of the tour, but happy to finally see/hear Michael B. Nelson (he's kind of a legend to me, having heard him and/or his work so many times in Prince's music). I'm still not totally convinced by Cory's music, which is a bit too much pop/light to my ears, but there's definitely a lot of talent in the band.
2023-07-13	Marcus Miller, Russell Gunn, Donald Hayes, Xavier Gordon, Anwar Marshall, and Tom Ibarra	Auditorium Stravinski, Montreux, Switzerland Montreux Jazz Festival	(4.0)
My 17^th (!) Marcus Miller concert. This is the musician I've seen the most live. I hadn't seen him in 7 years. Nothing revolutionary, but the music is top-notch, as always. I didn't know any of the musicians playing with him. Tom Ibarra, in particular, is apparently not touring with Marcus. He's a 23-year-old guitar player who already played with Marcus in 2016.
2023-07-13	Pat Metheny, Chris Fishman, and Joe Dyson	Auditorium Stravinski, Montreux, Switzerland Montreux Jazz Festival	(4.0)
I hadn't seen Pat in 13 years. That was in Montreux as well. At that time, he was still refusing to be recorded. I'm not very familiar with his music, but this was an excellent concert.

2022 10

Date	Musicians	Location / event	Rating
2022-11-20	Aziza: Dave Holland, Chris Potter, Lionel Loueke, and Eric Harland	Théâtre Le Reflet, Vevey, Switzerland	(4.25)
I saw this exact same band 6 years ago. There's not much to say: those musicians are all excellent. I was not a fan of Lionel Loueke before (especially with Herbie Hancock), but that night his sound didn't bother me. I actually liked a lot of what he did.
2022-11-06	Abdullah Ibrahim	Salle Paderewski, Casino de Montbenon, Lausanne, Switzerland JazzOnze+ Festival Lausanne	(4.0)
This was the fourth time I saw Abdullah Ibrahim and the first time in 13 years. This was a beautiful concert, as is his last album. At 88 years old, I don't know if I'll see him live again (you never know). This made this concert even more special.
2022-07-23	Thomas Quasthoff, Bill Evans, Niels Landgren, Dieter Ilg, Wolfgang Haffner, and Simon Oslender	Salle des Combins, Verbier, Switzerland Verbier Festival	(2.5)
Overall, a very mainstream jazz concert. It sometimes felt like "hotel bar jazz". I was not convinced by Thomas Quasthoff's style/humor, which I found off-putting, like Médéric Collignon's scat singing last year. We attended this concert mainly because Bill Evans was there, but his presence is still somewhat of a mystery to me, as his skills were underused. Dieter Ilg's introduction solo to "Summertime" was really excellent. A nice (but a bit too conventional) version of "Jean-Pierre" was played.
2022-07-20	Brad Mehldau	Église de Verbier, Verbier, Switzerland Verbier Festival	(4.0)
A very pleasant 2-hour solo piano concert in a very hot church. Brad played a lot of pop/rock songs (Radiohead, The Beatles, David Bowie, etc.). This was the 11^th time I saw him in concert.
2022-07-04	Björk, Bjarni Frímann Bjarnason, and Sinfonietta de Lausanne	Auditorium Stravinski, Montreux, Switzerland Montreux Jazz Festival	(3.5)
Some songs were beautiful. Overall, this concert made a fact obvious to me: Björk songs work because of the electronic and rhythmic elements. Removing them is an interesting, but also frustrating exercise.
2022-05-22	Henri Dès and Fabien Iannone	Le Zénith, Château-d'Œx, Switzerland	(3.5)
Our second Henri Dès concert this year. Our 4-year-old son loved it.
2022-04-06	Lana Kostic	Le Club, Cully, Switzerland Cully Jazz Festival	(3.5)
This was a short (45-minute?) concert for people who donated some money to the festival after it was cancelled in 2020. Not necessarily the kind of music I would listen to, but as a live performance, it was quite fascinating. It was a sonic as well as a visual experience.
2022-04-03	Gaëtan: Gaëtan Cruchet and Fred Leclercq	Grande salle, Chavornay, Switzerland	(3.25)
Our son's third concert.
2022-03-13	Isabelle Meyer, Tobias Noss, ?, ?, Marilyne Musy, ?, and ?	Salle Paderewski, Casino de Montbenon, Lausanne, Switzerland Un Fantôme à l’Opéra	(3.25)
Another concert/show with our almost-4-year-old son.
2022-01-22	Henri Dès and Fabien Iannone	Théâtre de Beausobre, Morges, Switzerland	(3.5)
Our son's first "real" concert. That was fun.

2021 3

Date	Musicians	Location / event	Rating
2021-10-23	Médéric Collignon, Yvan Robillard, Stéphane Kerecki, and Fabrice Moreau	Chorus, Lausanne, Switzerland	(3.25)
The music itself was pretty good (thanks to Miles' compositions, among others), but I'm definitely not a fan of Médéric Collignon's scat singing. His attempts at humor between the tunes were also off-putting.
2021-09-09	Vincent Peirani & Emile Parisien: Vincent Peirani and Emile Parisien	Salle Paderewski, Casino de Montbenon, Lausanne, Switzerland JazzOnze+ Festival Lausanne	(4.0)
Two virtuosos which I already saw together in Cully in 2015 (as part of a quartet). I saw Emile Parisien's own band in Cully in 2019 and I also saw him with Yaron Herman in 2012. The concert was very good. I bought their latest studio album, which is also excellent.
2021-09-09	Andrina Bollinger	Salle Paderewski, Casino de Montbenon, Lausanne, Switzerland JazzOnze+ Festival Lausanne	(3.25)
My first "real" concert in almost two years. Not really my cup of tea, but Andrina Bollinger has a lot of positive energy. It was an enjoyable concert. She's apparently a David Lynch fan and watched the whole Twin Peaks series last year (as she explained before a song inspired by Lynch). She gets a bonus point for that. :)

2019 11

Date	Musicians	Location / event	Rating
2019-11-03	Chris Potter, Dave Holland, and Zakir Hussain	Salle Paderewski, Casino de Montbenon, Lausanne, Switzerland JazzOnze+ Festival Lausanne	(3.75)
I really like Chris Potter and Dave Holland. Zakir Hussain, which I also saw with Charles Lloyd, is a great musician, but I'm less impressed with his style. Overall, the playing was excellent, but I was probably not in the right mood to fully appreciate the music (which, without bass and drums, was a bit more laid-back, less energetic).
2019-11-01	Charles Lloyd & Kindred Spirits: Charles Lloyd, Marvin Sewell, Gerald Clayton, Harish Raghavan, and Eric Harland	Salle Paderewski, Casino de Montbenon, Lausanne, Switzerland JazzOnze+ Festival Lausanne	(4.0)
That was my sixth Charles Lloyd concert. That was also the sixth time I saw Eric Harland, which I previously saw with Charles Lloyd, as well as with Dave Holland. This was the first time I saw the other musicians. I really liked Marvin Sewell (the guitarist). Overall, a great concert.
2019-11-01	District Five: Tapiwa Svosve, Vojko Huter, Xaver Rüegg, and Paul Amereller	Salle Paderewski, Casino de Montbenon, Lausanne, Switzerland JazzOnze+ Festival Lausanne	(2.5)
Nice musicians, but the music was a bit too repetitive/"ambient" for my tastes.
2019-09-27	The Black Shoe's Button: Sarah Artacho, Hélène Millasson, Christine Chanson, and Nathalie Winiger	La Cave du Bleu Lézard, Lausanne, Switzerland
Sarah is a former colleague of mine. The band has a lot of energy. We had a good time.
2019-07-12	Chick Corea, Jorge Pardo, Niño Josele, Marcus Gilmore, Carlitos del Puerto, Steve Davis, Mike Rodriguez, Luisito Quintero, and Niño de los Reyes	Montreux Jazz Club, Montreux, Switzerland Montreux Jazz Festival	(4.25)
Nothing radically new from Chick (e.g. he has been doing the "Concierto de Aranjuez" / "Spain" encore, with the audience singing, for decades now), but the music was excellent and the musicians were obviously having fun. This was a very enjoyable concert.
2019-07-12	Linda May Han Oh, Greg Ward, Matthew Stevens, and Allen Mednard	Montreux Jazz Club, Montreux, Switzerland Montreux Jazz Festival	(3.25)
This concert left me a bit cold. I'm not a fan of Oh's singing.
2019-06-28	Sting, Josh Freese, Ben Butler, Rufus Miller, Melissa Tatro, James Roston, Shane Sager, and Kevon Webster	Auditorium Stravinski, Montreux, Switzerland Montreux Jazz Festival	(3.0)
I only stayed during the first 20-30 minutes of the concert. I then had to leave, because I didn't feel well, but, to be honest, I was also bored. I like Sting, but how many times do we need to hear the same songs, over and over?
2019-04-12	Emile Parisien Quartet: Emile Parisien, Julien Touery, Ivan Gelugne, and Julien Loutelier	Chapiteau, Cully, Switzerland Cully Jazz Festival	(3.5)
At this point during the night, I was maybe a bit too tired, but it seemed to me that the band was less nuanced than the two previous bands. They had a lot of energy and the audience loved the concert, so maybe I missed something.
2019-04-12	Yaron Herman, Ziv Ravitz, and Sam Minaie	Chapiteau, Cully, Switzerland Cully Jazz Festival	(3.75)
My 11^th Yaron Herman concert. I've now seen him more than Herbie Hancock! They played a long medley/suite of Yaron's recent compositions, without any pause, which I really liked.
2019-04-12	Andreas Schaerer & A Novel Of Anomaly: Andreas Schaerer, Luciano Biondini, Kalle Kalima, and Lucas Niggli	Chapiteau, Cully, Switzerland Cully Jazz Festival	(4.0)
I didn't know who was playing before Yaron Herman and it happened to be Andreas Schaerer, which I has already seen twice in Cully. The band was great! A lot of energy. All the musicians were excellent, but the accordionist and guitarist were particularly good.
2019-03-09	Kenny Garrett, Vernell Brown, Corcoran Holt, Samuel Laviso, and Rudy Bird	Théâtre Maurice Novarina, Maison des Arts du Léman, Thonon-les-Bains, France	(4.25)
A fantastic concert (and quite long as well - 130 minutes). I think I knew all the tunes. Samuel Laviso played like his life depended on it from start to finish. The encores included "Happy People", as usual, which always works. I heard a few very recognizable quotes ("Summertime", "Frère Jacques" (?), a tune by Coltrane, but also "Wrinkle" and another tune from Kenny's time with Miles).

2018 10

Date	Musicians	Location / event	Rating
2018-11-14	Neneh Cherry, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, and ?	Alhambra, Geneva, Switzerland Les Créatives	(3.75)
The last time I saw Neneh Cherry was with The Thing in 2012. Having excellent musicians with you is important. Her 2018 band is average-to-good, I would say. It's not really tight. Their sound worked better with the new songs (from Broken Politics, which is very good). As for older songs, "Manchild" and "I've Got You Under My Skin" were pretty good; "7 Seconds" didn't work (without Youssou N'Dour, I guess it can't); "Buffalo Stance" (?) was also average. I still had a good time, though (front row, Neneh often standing at less than one meter from me).
2018-11-14	The Fault: Julie Hugo, Tania Bochud, and Fabien Vodoz	Alhambra, Geneva, Switzerland Les Créatives	(2.5)
Not bad. It's hard to open for another artist...
2018-07-10	Jack White, Carla Azar, Dominic Davis, Quincy McCrary, and Neal Evans	Auditorium Stravinski, Montreux, Switzerland Montreux Jazz Festival	(3.75)
I'm only familiar with a couple of White Stripes albums, which I like very much. The concert was good, but I'm wondering whether Jack White's sound doesn't work best in studio. Obviously, I don't know what I'm talking about and will listen to the rest of his discography soon...
2018-07-10	Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue: Troy Andrews, Peter Murano, Joshua Connelly, Robert Peebles, Mike Bass-Bailey, Bernard Kym Jackson, and Daniel Oestreicher	Auditorium Stravinski, Montreux, Switzerland Montreux Jazz Festival	(3.0)
A lot of energy, but a little too much "in your face" for my taste.
2018-07-06	Jason Moran	Montreux Jazz Club, Montreux, Switzerland Montreux Jazz Festival	(3.75)
It's always difficult for me to listen to solo piano and not think about Keith Jarrett. But Jason has a style of his own. I especially liked his more "experimental" songs ("sounds").
2018-07-03	Brad Mehldau, Larry Grenadier, and Jeff Ballard	Montreux Jazz Club, Montreux, Switzerland Montreux Jazz Festival	(3.75)
I usually love Brad. I've seen him at least 8-9 times at this point. I don't know if it was him or me, I but I found his playing particularly odd that night. Brad played with a lot of restraint. It was not bad, but surprising.
2018-07-01	Stanley Clarke, Cameron Graves, Shariq Tucker, Beka Gochiashvili, and Salar Nader	Montreux Jazz Club, Montreux, Switzerland Montreux Jazz Festival	(3.5)
I'm not very familiar with Stanley Clarke. I liked him a lot with Herbie Hancock in 1991 and with S.M.V. in 2008. I also like School Days. I liked most of what I heard during this concert, but I could have done without the keyboards. Awful sounds. (Sorry, Cameron...) The drummer what excellent, however.
2018-07-01	Roosevelt Collier, Rodrigo Zambrano, Jason Matthews, and Armando Lopez	Montreux Jazz Club, Montreux, Switzerland Montreux Jazz Festival	(3.25)
I liked the overall sound of the band. It worked most of the time. However, I found Collier's way of playing the pedal steel guitar a bit simplistic or lazy, at times.
2018-04-22	Lena Belkina, Max Emanuel Cencic, Daniel Behle, Juan Francisco Gatell, Daniel Golossov, Delphine Gillot, Tristan Blanchet, Aurélien Reymond-Moret, Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, George Petrou, Chœur de l’Opéra de Lausanne, and Antonio Greco	Opéra de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland La donna del lago opera	(3.75)
La donna del lago opera (Gioachino Rossini), directed by Max Emanuel Cencic. This was the last opera we will be able to attend for a while. It was an incredible experience as usual, but I was maybe a little bit underwhelmed by the production and the adaptation. Also, I'm not against nudity and eroticism, but it was probably a bit overused here.
2018-03-25	Paolo Fanale, Salome Jicia, Sylvia Schwartz, Yuriy Mynenko, Lamia Beuque, Daniel Golossov, Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, Diego Fasolis, Chœur de l’Opéra de Lausanne, and Pascal Mayer	Opéra de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland La clemenza di Tito opera	(4.0)
La clemenza di Tito opera (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart), directed by Fabio Ceresa. Another very good production from the Opéra de Lausanne. The set was impressive, as often (monumental statues, scale model of Rome, etc.). Several "monologues" got well-deserved applause from the audience.

2017 13

Date	Musicians	Location / event	Rating
2017-10-15	The Preservation All-Stars: Wendell Brunious, Maynard Chatters, Will Smith, Aron Lambert, Richard Moten, Rickie Monie, and Louis Ford	Preservation Hall, New Orleans, LA, USA	(3.5)
A 45-minute show. No smartphone. An attentive audience. We were very close to the musicians (next to the trombone player). We had a really good time. I had already been there in 2001.
2017-10-13	Washboard Chaz Blues Trio: Chaz Leary, ?, and ?	The Spotted Cat Music Club, New Orleans, LA, USA	(3.0)
A nice blues trio in a noisy bar. For the price of a cheap drink. Not really my cup of tea, but it was not bad.
2017-07-10	Mike Stern & Randy Brecker: Mike Stern, Randy Brecker, Lenny White, and Teymur Phell	Montreux Jazz Club, Montreux, Switzerland Montreux Jazz Festival	(4.0)
Mike Stern and Lenny White are two musicians who, again, played with Miles Davis (Mike Stern in 1981-83 and 1985-86, and Lenny White, on the Bitches Brew album). I had already seen Mike Stern with Bill Evans (another musician who played with Miles) in 2005. A good and fun concert. I don't think I'm a fan of the way Randy Brecker plays the trumpet, but there aren't many trumpet players I enjoy outside of Miles. I should probably give him another chance. All the musicians were good, though, especially Mike Stern, who has a very recognizable style.
2017-07-10	Saxophone Summit: Dave Liebman, Joe Lovano, Greg Osby, Phil Markowitz, Cecil McBee, and Billy Hart	Montreux Jazz Club, Montreux, Switzerland Montreux Jazz Festival	(3.75)
I had already seen Joe Lovano in Cully in 2009 and Billy Hart with Charles Lloyd in 1999. Dave Liebman played with Miles Davis on the On The Corner album, on tracks such as "Calypso Frelimo" and "He Loved Him Madly", as well as on many concerts in 1973-74. I didn't know Billy Hart played with Miles Davis (on On The Corner and Tutu). This was what I would call "cerebral music" (not many melodies, a lot of dissonance, etc.). Overall, I liked Dave Liebman better than the other two sax players.
2017-07-10	Olli Hirvonen New Helsinki: Olli Hirvonen, Adam O'Farrill, Luke Marantz, Marty Kenney, and Nathan Ellman-bell	Montreux Jazz Club, Montreux, Switzerland Montreux Jazz Festival	(3.5)
A "young" band. I liked it a lot better than Kurt Rosenwinkel a few days earlier. A lot of energy. I liked how Olli Hirvonen played the guitar. Unfortunately, the audience was apparently not convinced (the music was a bit too loud, maybe?) and there wasn't any encore (they played for less than 40 minutes). A shame.
2017-07-07	John Scofield Überjam: John Scofield, Andy Hess, Avi Bortnick, and Dennis Chambers	Montreux Jazz Club, Montreux, Switzerland Montreux Jazz Festival	(4.25)
An excellent concert! This was my 8^th John Scofield concert and my 3^rd Überjam concert, this time with Dennis Chambers, which I saw last year for the first time with Bill Evans & Co. This was excellent, funky, full of energy from start to finish. I really like the Überjam concept. It works well. Miles would be proud (?).
2017-07-07	Kurt Rosenwinkel's Caipi: Kurt Rosenwinkel, Pedro Martins, Antonio Loureiro, Bill Campbell, Federico Heliodoro, and Olivia Trummer	Montreux Jazz Club, Montreux, Switzerland Montreux Jazz Festival	(2.5)
They're talented, that's for sure. But I was definitely not impressed by the compositions and the unison-like singing. A couple of guitar solos were pretty good.
2017-07-06	The New Power Generation: Andre Anderson (aka André Cymone), Kip Blackshire, Thomas Elm (aka Tommy Barbarella), Morris Hayes, Damon Herbert-Dickson, Kirk Johnson, Anthony Mosley (aka Tony M.), Michael Scott, and Lloyd Thompson (aka Sonny T.)	Auditorium Stravinski, Montreux, Switzerland Montreux Jazz Festival	(3.75)
If it wasn't for the music, my rating would be lower. Let's be honest: I had fun from start to finish, even if they're not the greatest musicians. Two conclusions: Prince's music, in itself, is great, but Prince was of course an important part of the equation. Anyway, I didn't expect much, so I was happy to be there. The New Power Generation was opening for Lauryn Hill, but there were a lot of Prince fans in the audience (hints: t-shirts, tatoos, etc.). The setlist was, I think, pretty much the same as at the other European concerts (7 songs from 1991-92 and 18 songs from 1980-90, if I'm correct). Mainly hits. Nothing from 1993-2016 (a real shame!). "Call the Law" was an excellent surprise (although, Mike Scott on the guitar is definitely not the same as Prince, of course). "Jughead" was fun. There was a moment of silence for John Blackwell just before "Purple Rain".
2017-06-11	Kostas Smoriginas, Riccardo Novaro, Anne-Catherine Gillet, Lucia Cirillo, Catherine Trottmann, Anicio Zorzi Giustiniani, Ruben Amoretti, Leon Košavić, Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, Michael Güttler, Chœur de l’Opéra de Lausanne, and Pascal Mayer	Opéra de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland Don Giovanni opera	(4.0)
Don Giovanni opera (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart), directed by Éric Vigié. Yet another famous opera that I didn't know. A lot of excellent singers. The sets in the second part were particularly impressive (the scenes with the Statue), yet quite simple. Some of the colors/lights effects were also simple but effective. After seeing Molière's Dom Juan at Théâtre de Vidy last year, it was intriguing to see Mozart / Lorenzo da Ponte's take on the Don Juan character.
2017-04-04	McCoy Tyner, Geri Allen, Craig Taborn, Gerald Cannon, and Francisco Mela	Chapiteau, Cully, Switzerland Cully Jazz Festival	(3.5)
McCoy Tyner is a legend, but let's be honest: at 78, he's currently not at his best. He still has some energy left, but his playing is a bit patchy, to say the least. I must say that I was not completely comfortable seeing him like that (i.e. less than healthy, barely able to walk and speak). I was far more impressed by Wayne Shorter's concert last year, for example (he was 82 at the time). Anyway, the concert consisted of three parts, each with a single piano player (Craig Taborn came first, then Geri Allen, and finally McCoy Tyner, who played for about 30 minutes).
2017-04-04	Colin Vallon, Patrice Moret, and Julian Sartorius	Chapiteau, Cully, Switzerland Cully Jazz Festival	(3.5)
This was the third time I saw Colin Vallon, but I can't say I'm really familiar with his music, which is quite melodic, sometimes based on repetitive, almost funky riffs. I had already seen Patrice Moret a lot at Le Bout du Monde, a bar with a small concert room in Vevey, back in 2006. This was the second time I saw him with Colin Vallon. This was also the third time I saw Julian Sartorius and the first two times were solo performances (drums only), which were enjoyable but didn't particularly convince me. I liked him way better in the context of this trio. So, yes, musicians I had already seen quite a few times, but that I don't really know. I think I'm going to buy Colin Vallon's latest album, "Danse". We'll see.
2017-04-02	Autour de Chet: Camélia Jordana, Hugh Coltman, Piers Faccini, Erik Truffaz, Camille Bertault, Airelle Besson, Cyril Atef, Christophe Minck, Pierre-François Dufour, Bojan Z, and Stéphane Belmondo	Chapiteau, Cully, Switzerland Cully Jazz Festival	(3.5)
I had already seen Erik Truffaz five times, mainly in Cully, incidentally. I had also already seen Bojan Z once, in Cully, in 2004, and Cyril Atef three times, with Mathieu Chedid, the last time in 2010. There were many good moments during the concert, as well as far more average moments. With 11 musicians on stage, never all at the same moment, it was to be expected. "A Taste of Honey", with Piers Faccini on vocals, was one of the highlights, for me.
2017-03-26	Emily Dorn, Giorgio Berrugi, Anne-Sophie Petit, Vittorio Prato, Luigi De Donato, Benoît Capt, Mario Marchisio, Marin Yonchev, Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, Jean-Yves Ossonce, Chœur de l’Opéra de Lausanne, Jacques Blanc, and Maîtrise Opéra du Conservatoire de Lausanne	Opéra de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland La Bohème opera	(4.0)
La Bohème opera (Giacomo Puccini), directed by Claude Stratz. This was my fourth opera at the Opéra de Lausanne. As usual, I didn't know anything about the work (let's say I wanted to have a fresh, neophyte perspective - but I'm a bit lazy as well...). The first two acts (before the intermission) are very happy. Almost mushy. The last two acts are a bit more dramatic. The very end of the fourth act is really designed to make you cry. The main themes are quite common, a bit clichés: the poor artist, love at first sight, happiness in poverty, etc. The music is easy to follow. Overall, I really liked the simple (but not pared-down) set and the singers were very good. Some of the longer "monologues" got a lot of applause from the audience.
