Roberta Flack’s The Montreux Years gathers performances recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival between 1971 and 2008, tracing nearly four decades of her work on stage. Across these recordings, her restrained delivery and precise piano playing take centre stage, highlighting the depth and control that define her live presence.
The collection features interpretations of her most recognised material alongside carefully chosen covers, each shaped by her measured phrasing and emotional nuance. Drawn entirely from previously unreleased recordings, The Montreux Years offers a clear view of Flack’s enduring artistry in a live setting, where subtle shifts in dynamics and tone carry as much weight as the songs themselves.
