Audemars Piguet As New Global Partner of the Montreux Jazz Festival AUDEMARS PIGUET AS NEW GLOBAL PARTNER OF THE MONTREUX JAZZ FESTIVAL Montreux Jazz Festival LAB, 2018 (© 2018 FFJM - Marc Ducrest) Le Brassus, 28 November 2018 – Audemars Piguet and the Montreux Jazz Festival are delighted to announce their new partnership starting in 2019. Audemars Piguet will become Global Partner of the Festival alongside AccorHotels. Creators of exceptional (hi)stories and legendary moments, Audemars Piguet and the Montreux Jazz Festival put heritage and innovation at the heart of their savoir-faire. The partnership between Audemars Piguet and the Montreux Jazz Festival stems from a natural evolution extending the Manufacture’s ongoing collaboration and strong relationship with the Montreux Jazz Festival. Since 2010, the Manufacture joined the Claude Nobs Foundation and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) in the Montreux Jazz Digital Project. This massive project enabled the digitalisation, restoration and preservation of the Festival’s entire sound archives, acknowledged by UNESCO as part of its “Memory of the World.” This collection contains more than 5,000 hours of concert recordings. Quincy Jones has described this unique collection as “the most important testimonial to the history of music, covering jazz, blues and rock.” The Montreux Jazz Digital Project is perfectly aligned with Audemars Piguet’s quest for innovation and endeavour to maintain watchmaking heritage and tradition in its birthplace, the Vallée de Joux. Mathieu Jaton, Chief Executive Officer of the Montreux Jazz Festival is pleased to announce this partnership: “We are delighted to pursue a common history, which began years ago. As Global Partner, Audemars Piguet will accompany us all year long, in Switzerland and throughout the world.” This partnership extends to all the Festival’s entities, including the Montreux Jazz Café restaurants, the Montreux Jazz Festival Japan and the Montreux Jazz Artists Foundation. The Foundation supports tomorrow’s artists notably through the Montreux Jazz Academy and the Montreux Jazz Talent Awards. This new collaboration testifies as well to Audemars Piguet and the Montreux Jazz Festival’s shared passion for excellence and the creation of emotions. Music is the universal language of emotions. It touches the hearts of all beyond age categories and genres and provides an endless source of inspiration. In this quest, the Manufacture defies conventions to share its love of Haute Horlogerie through unique human experience. Its timepieces allying traditional savoir-faire and technological advancements communicate this passion for excellence, precision and technical artistry via strong human emotions. This partnership with the Montreux Jazz Festival extends Audemars Piguet’s long-standing attachment to the world of music. In 2005, on the occasion of Jay-Z’s 10th Roc-A-Fella Records anniversary, Audemars Piguet and Jay-Z collaborated on a limited edition of the Royal Oak Offshore. In 2009, the Manufacture presented the Millenary Quincy Jones limited edition, a watch also symbolising the larger collaboration between Audemars Piguet and the internationally- renown musical producer and director on Project Q, which raised awareness on young people’s need for self-expression and self-fulfilment. Fascinated by music, François-Henry Bennahmias, Audemars Piguet’s Chief Executive Officer, intimately rejoices over the new partnership with the Montreux Jazz Festival: “At last,” he sings, paying tribute to Etta James, “my love has come along.” “At last … I found a dream that I could speak to. A dream that I can call my own.” Adding music to its strategy, Audemars Piguet announces the development of new projects in the coming year. “To break the rules, you must first master them.” Visuals & press release available under: https://audemarspiguet.picturepark.com/Go/DIFgIT5P Follow us on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/audemarspiguet Google+: https://plus.google.com/+audemarspiguet Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/audemarspiguet https://www.instagram.com/audemarspiguetsavoirfaire/ https://www.instagram.com/audemarspiguetgolf/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/audemars-piguet Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/audemarspiguet Weibo: https://e.weibo.com/audemarspiguetchina Youku: https://i.youku.com/aptvofficial YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/audemarspiguet About Audemars Piguet Audemars Piguet is the oldest fine watchmaking manufacturer still in the hands of its founding families (Audemars and Piguet). Since 1875, the company has written some of the finest chapters in the history of Haute Horlogerie, including a number of world firsts. In the Vallée de Joux, at the heart of the Swiss Jura, numerous masterpieces are created in limited series embodying a remarkable degree of horological perfection, including daring sporty models, classic and traditional timepieces, splendid ladies’ jewellery-watches, as well as one-of-a-kind creations. www.audemarspiguet.com About the Montreux Jazz Festival Founded in 1967 by Claude Nobs, the Montreux Jazz Festival takes place over 2 weeks each summer in Switzerland. With ambitious programming choices and a savoir-faire forged in the hospitality industry, the Montreux Jazz Festival offers a haven of peace to both artists and public, where time seems to stop, as the most improbable encounters become reality. The Festival draws more than 250,000 visitors each year to the shores of Lake Geneva for concerts of renowned acoustics and numerous free-access events. In Montreux, the intimacy that encourages improvisation remains a top priority. Proximity between the biggest artists and their audiences results in unique concerts and memorable moments. While jazz and blues are at the roots of this event, other styles of music quickly found their place, leading to artistic encounters between generations of musicians and unique experiences. Montreux has thus seen historic performances by artists including Nina Simone, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Marvin Gaye, Prince, Leonard Cohen, David Bowie, and Stevie Wonder. The festival will celebrate its 53rd edition from June 28 to July 13, 2019. www.montreuxjazzfestival.com ©Audemars Piguet and Montreux Jazz Festival 2018 .

  • Le Montreux Jazz Festival Présente Le Dispositif De Sa 55E Édition Conforme Aux Contraintes De La Pandémie
    Montreux, le 28 juin 2021 COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE Le Montreux Jazz Festival présente le dispositif de sa 55e édition conforme aux contraintes de la pandémie Les organisateurs proposent une 55e édition du Montreux Jazz Festival adaptée à la situation en lien avec l’épidémie de COVID-19. Il s’agit d’une édition largement réduite, sans animation hors périmètre, et avec un plan de protection sanitaire validé par l’Etat-major cantonal de conduite. Le Chef d’Etat-major cantonal a donné l’autorisation au MJF 2021 de se dérouler conformément au cadre légal en vigueur. La situation sanitaire étant en Suisse et dans le canton de Vaud totalement sous contrôle et la vacci- nation avancée, la première grande manifestation se déroulant sur territoire vaudois peut être autorisée. Si le res- pect strict des règles sanitaires mises en œuvre par les organisateurs permet de limiter les risques, il est important de continuer à faire appel à la responsabilité individuelle en appliquant les gestes barrières. Le plan de protection sanitaire du MJF a été élaboré selon l’Ordonnance sur les mesures destinées à lutter contre l’épidémie du Covid-19 en situation particulière, du 23 juin 2021 et selon l’étape d’assouplissement V, entrée en vigueur le 26 juin 2021. Il se base également sur le Plan de protection édité par l’EMCC applicable dans le cadre de l’organisation de grandes manifestations dès le 26 juin 2021. La stratégie générale du MJF repose sur la définition de zones réduites en capacité (capacité totale du site de 1’470 cette année, versus les 15’000 personnes par jour durant une édition en situation normale), et sur la maîtrise de chaque périmètre en termes de capacité et de traçabilité du public (découpage hermétique en secteurs, ver- sus un site complètement ouvert pour l’offre gratuite durant une édition en situation normale).

Many but people will never successful people give credit forget how you made them feel.” to key people who have helped —Maya Angelou “As one chosen by destiny and richly endowed by nature, the artist must have a sense of obligation them on their way. toward those who are denied these riches. It is for him to repay nature and to offer his gifts to humanity, in The mentor-protégé relationship all humility of heart, as an act of gratitude for the grace bestowed upon him.” can be one of the most important —Serge Koussevitzky in our lives. In this exhibit are a few examples of people who have led and continue to lead the way for others. There are thousands more. Are there people who have helped you whom you want to thank? Are there people to whom you need to reach out a hand? “The life and essence of art – whether it is a painting, music or dance – lies in expressing a wellspring of emotion, the universal realm of the human spirit. It is a melding of the individual and the universal. That is why great art reaches out beyond ethnic and national barriers to move people the world over.” — Daisaku Ikeda, Founder of ICAP and President of Soka Gakkai International This exhibit is sponsored by the International Committee of Artists for Peace (ICAP), a coalition of artists and organizations dedicated to promoting global peace and individual happiness through concerts, exhibitions, educational activities and programs for young people.

  • Luther Johnson – Telarc.Com Luther “Guitar Junior” Johnson Is One of the Premier Blues Artists to Emerge from Chicago's
    Luther Johnson – telarc.com Luther “Guitar Junior” Johnson is one of the premier blues artists to emerge from Chicago’s music scene. Hailing from Itta Bena, Mississippi, Johnson arrived in Chicago in the mid-fifties a young man. At around the same time, the West Side guitar style, a way of playing alternating stinging single-note leads with powerful distorted chords, was being created mostly by Magic Sam and Otis Rush. Originally developed because their small bands could not afford both lead and rhythm guitar players, this style grew into an important contribution to modern blues and rock, influencing such notables as Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler. Johnson served a long sideman apprenticeship with both Magic Sam and Muddy Waters, while developing into a strong performer in his own right. Today, Luther is widely considered the foremost proponent of the West Side guitar style and the heir apparent to the late Magic Sam’s West Side throne. Luther Johnson first gained an international reputation as a guitarist and vocalist with Muddy Waters’ band, touring the U.S., Europe, Japan and Australia from 1973-79. Given the opportunity to front the band on his featured tunes in each show, Johnson’s super-charged performances consistently thrilled audiences in the world’s leading concert halls, including Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center and Radio City Music Hall as well as at music festivals in Newport, Antibes, New Orleans and countless others. During his association with Muddy Waters, Johnson also shared the stage with The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, The Allman Brothers and Johnny Winter.

  • Twist Bioscience and Collaborators Microsoft, University of Washington Preserve Archive-Quality Audio Recordings for Memory of the World
    Twist Bioscience and Collaborators Microsoft, University of Washington Preserve Archive-Quality Audio Recordings for Memory of the World September 30, 2017 -- Iconic Performances of Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water”and Miles Davis’ “Tutu” Performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival Stored on DNA for the First Time -- San Francisco, CA – September 29, 2017 – Twist Bioscience, a company accelerating science and innovation through rapid, high-quality DNA synthesis, today announced that, working with Microsoft and University of Washington researchers, they have successfully stored archival-quality audio recordings of two important music performances from the archives of the world-renowned Montreux Jazz Festival. These selections are encoded and stored in nature’s preferred storage medium, DNA, for the first time. These tiny specks of DNA will preserve a part of UNESCO’s Memory of the World Archive, where valuable cultural heritage collections are recorded. This is the first time DNA has been used as a long-term archival-quality storage medium. Quincy Jones, world-renowned Entertainment Executive, Music Composer and Arranger, Musician and Music Producer said, “With advancements in nanotechnology, I believe we can expect to see people living prolonged lives, and with that, we can also expect to see more developments in the enhancement of how we live. For me, life is all about learning where you came from in order to get where you want to go, but in order to do so, you need access to history! And with the unreliability of how archives are often stored, I sometimes worry that our future generations will be left without such access...So, it absolutely makes my soul smile to know that EPFL, Twist Bioscience and others are coming together to preserve the beauty and history of the Montreux Jazz Festival for our future generations, on DNA!...I've been a part of this festival for decades and it truly is a magnificent representation of what happens when different cultures unite for the sake of music.
