Prince Montreux Jazz Festival Reviews, Pictures, Videos

"Montreux, thank you," Prince said, as he blew a kiss to the crowd before kicking off an encore with "Insatiable."

Prince closed the Montreux Jazz Festival with two amazing shows! He's receiving a lot of praise by organizers, fans, and critics!

Claude Nobs, founder of the festival in its 43rd annual edition, told fans cheering in vain for a second encore: "The jazz set he created here tonight has never been performed elsewhere."

"This was a very different show," said Patrick O'Keeffe, from Ireland. "He rarely plays with just three band members, normally it is much bigger band with brass and horns and sax."
