Montreux, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – There was a time warp in Montreux last night that took me back to the days when I used to sing in front of the mirror waiting for the moment when I could go dancing with the big girls, on a “Ladies Night” because even then I knew, “A Woman Needs Love” and it is easy to get lost in “Boogie Wonderland.”
These are some of the dance and R&B anthems of the late 70s and 80s performed to a packed auditorium at the Montreux Jazz festival last night, 16 July.

Montreux, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - If Rachelle Ferrell’s musical expressiveness is shocking, this is a good thing.
Ferrell, a Montreux veteran, treated the audience to her awesome vocal range and facial acrobatics as she warmed the crowd up by running her rich voice up and down the word M-O-N-T-R-E-U-X.
