I have just noticed that ®Moleskine has created yet another limited edition. This time in relation to the Montreux Jazz Festival that is taking place from the 1st to the 16th July this year. Have a look at the program here.
In Brief: The Montreux Jazz Festival
Founded by Claude Nobs in 1967, over the years the Montreux Jazz Festival has become an unmissable event for music fans in Switzerland and around the world. Its stages have been graced by all of music’s greats, from Miles Davis to Ray Charles and from David Bowie to Prince. Whereas Jazz constitutes the Festival’s historic core, other styles of music were quickly integrated into the Festival, bound together by a common thread of mutual curiosity and enthusiasm. Having made its reputation with its ambitious programming choices, the Montreux Jazz Festival offers musicians an ideal platform and an intimate setting for the duration of its two weeks.
“Blue, red, yellow, white and black — these are the colors chosen by Francis Baudevin for the 45th Montreux Jazz Festival. Three circles in rhythmic sequence, inside a square, the symbol for this year’s festival. This same design is used by Moleskine in its notebook dedicated to the musical event, a limited edition with a colored band inspired by the original poster. The arrangement of circles at 45 degrees represents the 45th Festival, but also the 45rpm single, with its circular hole in the middle.

Francis Baudevin is one of the most important members of Switzerland’s contemporary art movement. This year he was the artist selected by Claude Nobs, creator and patron of this musical event, who has been bringing music and art together since the first years of the festival, each time collaborating with a different artist. Famous names who have created the poster’s graphic symbol include Andy Warhol and Keith Haring.”
