Jon Batiste played a key role in bringing the Montreux Jazz Festival to Miami. He is also a co-owner of the festival and curated this year’s lineup. Batiste headlined last year’s inaugural edition and hosted the late night Jam Session that made international news. Says Batiste, “Bringing the soul of Montreux to the heart of Miami is an honor. It’s a rare festival where the room is intimate and musical collaboration and improvisation are central to the experience. We had an unforgettable experience last year and can’t wait to be back.” 

Says Mathieu Jaton, CEO of Montreux Jazz Festival: "The first edition of the Montreux Jazz Festival in Miami was an incredible success, with the city embracing our music, spirit, and legacy with open arms. As we prepare for the second edition, we are thrilled to bring even more unforgettable performances and experiences to Miami’s vibrant music scene. We look forward to deepening our connection with this beautiful city and celebrating the rich, diverse sounds that make the Montreux Jazz Festival so unique."
