Roberta Flack – The Montreux Years (CD)
Product Details
Roberta Flack arrived at the 1971 Montreux Jazz Festival already carrying the weight of a debut album that had quietly reshaped what soul music could be, intimate, literary, and harmonically sophisticated in ways that owed as much to classical training as to gospel. Her relationship with that Swiss stage would stretch across four decades, a testament to how deeply European audiences heard something in her that American pop radio sometimes struggled to hold. For fans who know her through the studio recordings, these performances reveal the full architecture of her artistry in real time.
Robert Flack: The Montreux Years presents live performances spanning nearly four decades, from her Montreux Jazz Festival debut in 1971 through to 2008. This new collection showcases her quiet intensity as a live performer, pairing her masterful piano work with her unmistakable vocal presence. It features standout versions of her best loved classics, alongside powerful interpretations of songs by other notable songwriters. All recordings in this collection are previously unreleased and mastered for superior sound quality. CD Digisleeve includes stunning new artwork, rare and unseen photography and special liner notes by her longtime manager and friend, Suzanne Koga.
