Live at Montreux 93/94

For the past 10 years, the Montreux Jazz Festival has kept the tradition of closing the festival with a ‘never ending night’. When Seigen Ono came to perform for the first time at the Montreux Jazz Festival on July 17, 1993, he was the last to leave the stage of the Miles Davis Hall at 6 o’clock in the morning. Seigen’s band, with its amazing mixture of musicians of all nationalitites, fresh approach to arrangements, and the incredible variety of rhythms, produced unique sounds that surprised everybody. When Seigen’s show ended, the window curtains were drown for the audience to witness the sunrise over the Lake Léman. It was a magical moment.
