The Montreux Jazz Artists Foundation supports the long-standing Montreux tradition of Jam Sessions. By hiring the professionals musicians it supports through the In-House Band jams, putting the necessary infrastructure in place and creating the conditions that make them more likely to occur, the MJAF fosters those rare and unforgettable moments that leave a lasting mark on all who witness them.
Each evening, the musicians programmed on the other stages of the Montreux Jazz Festival meet up at the Memphis, in the heart of Lake House. Many of them come seeking the spontaneity, the liberty of expression, and the pleasure of improvisation which formatted tour concerts allow less and less frequently.
The mythical jam sessions of the Festival bring about rare moments and extraordinary encounters. Each year, established musicians join young talents for unforgettable musical improvisations. Clarendelle is the exclusive partner of the Jam Sessions and supports the new artists of tomorrow. Among other support actions, Clarendelle donates 10% of their proceeds from the sale of Clarendelle bottles in Switzerland to the Montreux Jazz Artists Foundation.
