This year MIYAVI returned to Europe to perform at one of the world’s most prestigious music festivals!
The Montreux Jazz Festival is an annual music festival in Montreux, Switzerland on the Lake Geneva shoreline. On July 11th, they held a day devoted to Japanese artists as joint initiative between the Montreux Jazz Festival, the Blue Note Tokyo, Montreux Sounds Entertainment Japan, and the Japanese Embassy in Switzerland representing many years working with jazz-crazy Japan. Performances on this day included Hiromi, H ZETTRIO, Akikazu Nakamura-Forest, Blue Note Tokyo All Star Jazz Orchestra, Yurifa Matsumoto, Hotei, and of course Miyavi.
