Live at Montreux Jazz Festival is a live album by guitarist Carlos Santana and saxophonist Wayne Shorter that was released in 2005. The album is a record of their performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival on July 14, 1988.

Background

Santana and Shorter played together before, on The Swing of Delight (1980), and on This Is This! (1986), the final album by Weather Report, though Shorter left halfway through recording the album. Two years later he played at the jazz festival in Montreux, Switzerland, with musicians that were mostly from Santana's band: José Areas, Armando Peraza, Leon "Ndugu" Chancler, and keyboardist Chester Thompson. Bass guitarist Alphonso Johnson was from Weather Report. ^[2] There was also a DVD-Video of the concert. ^{[1] [3]}
