Bourgeois Jazz...(8/7)


How cliché would it be to have ever installed the festive atmosphere in the soundless lake-side town every summer, like the peaceful Montreux along Lake Leman? And becoming the 44th time of its kind, the Montreux Jazz Festival has continued to impress the participants and music-lovers who come over to seek for a speechless tone of hysteric enjoyment. My visit to this picturesque town during the festival showed me a different story of the classy quiet Swiss town that totally differs from my impressionistic visit years ago. I cannot agree more to the organiser to pick Montreux as the heart of the festival. Everything matched perfectly to the joyful mood of the jazz music: the bourgeois-style souvenir booths along the lake promenade, the elegant visitor crowd, the whitey tent of food stalls, the choice of regional food and drinks, the casual scattered clusters of visitors by the lake, the sunset and the holiday, and then, you begin to understand how a speech could be handicapped to echo the as-it-wish style of music world existed.
There is no way reminding you of any hectic notion in modern life, not even any occasional ripple reasoning our existence on the mirror of realistic reflection. Simplicity and enjoyment, I believe, could be the basic doctrine of the hippie-improvisation people share in the jazzy setting of happening in Montreux every summer. We need some warm-up to return to the less perfect world.
