Carlos Santana and John McLaughlin shared the stage at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland earlier this month, performing tunes by John Coltrane, Bob Dylan and Led Zeppelin – in the process taking the festival on a trip down memory lane to the 1960s and 70s.

The guitar legends kicked off with The Life Divine and closed with A Love Supreme, both tracks from their 1973 gold album Love, Devotion and Surrender. Their acoustic version of Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven was a highlight of a nostalgic concert at Montreux, one of Europe’s most prestigious summer jazz festivals, which runs until 16 July.

Carlos Santana is due to perform in Malta in two weeks’ time with a massive three-hour live concert, together with his band, on Sunday, 24 July at the Granaries in Floriana.

Santana’s Guitar Heaven World Tour 2011 continues to drive thousands of fans crazy as he makes his way around the globe, including two months in Europe with concerts in Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy and Malta, amongst others.

The Malta concert is sponsored by Vodafone and Malta International Airport. Tickets, starting from €35, are available from www.nngpromotions.com or from Vodafone retail outlets.
