Van Morrison

In 2018, when Van Morrison took the stage at the Montreux Jazz Festival, he was riding high on the success of his album "Roll with the Punches," which had been released the previous year. This album showcased an eclectic mix of blues, soul, and folk, reflecting Morrison's deep appreciation for these genres. It’s fascinating to think that, despite his decades-long career, Morrison remains a vibrant and compelling performer, often blending his classic hits with fresh material, almost as if he's breathing new life into his catalogue. Notably, this live performance included a mix of well-loved classics and tracks from prior albums, reminding us how his music has evolved. The environment of the Montreux festival, legendary for its rich history of jazz and blues, perfectly complemented Morrison's soulful sound, making it a true highlight of that summer.
