Montreux Jazz Festival
David Bowie, Phil Collins, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Milton Glaser, James Rizzi, Romero Britto, Jean Tinguely, Niki de Saint Phalle, Burton Morris, Zep... the greatest painters, graphic designers, photographers and contemporary artists designed the posters of the Montreux Jazz Festival.

On the occasion of the 45th anniversary of the Montreux Jazz Festival, these graphic creations are collected for the first time in one book.

Jean-Jacques Tordjman has chosen to join the verb to accompany every artwork by an original literary creation. By his texts, tales and short stories, the author engages the imagination, explores the unexpected, surprising, unusual, touching or funny facets of these posters, conduces to go beyond the initial frame of their creation and confers on every poster its indisputable status of work of art.

Tribute to some of the major artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, this book is an invitation to link the letter to the image, such as the Montreux Jazz Festival knew to combine the image and the sound.
