Axelle Red - Je t'attends

08.07.2012

Live at Miles Davis Hall

 

With her mane of red hair, singer Axelle Red no longer needs introducing. Since the 90s the Belgian artist has repeatedly released hits like “Sensualité”, “Elle danse seule” and “Je t’attends”. In 1999 she received the “Victoire de la Musique”, France’s highest honour for music, with her album Toujours moi. In 2003 she again won the Victoire, this time for France’s song of the year with a track she sang with Renaud. In 2011, she surprised fans with her seventh opus “Un coeur comme le mien” echoing the Americana sound while also blending Country, Folk and Soul. The record’s 13 tracks were written by Gérard Manset, Ben Mazuet, Christophe Miossec, Florent Marchet and Stéphane Eicher who composed militant songs tailored to the singer.
Socially involved for many years, Red has been Ambassador for the rights of women and children at UNICEF Belgium since 2006 and was awarded France’s “Chevalier de l’ordre des Arts et des Lettres” medal for contribution to the arts. Axelle Red – a beautiful woman and involved artist – will appear for the first time on stage at the Montreux Jazz Festival.  (FFJM © 2012)

Live Music at its best, Since 1967

Founded by Claude Nobs in 1967, over the years the Montreux Jazz Festival has become an unmissable event for music fans in Switzerland and around the world. Its stages have been graced by all of music’s greats, from Miles Davis to Ray Charles and from David Bowie to Prince.

Whereas Jazz constitutes the Festival’s historic core, other styles of music were quickly integrated into the Festival, bound together by a common thread of mutual curiosity and enthusiasm.
