The 60th Montreux Jazz Festival drew more than 250,000 people, with paid venues averaging 91% capacity.
The Lab, the smaller experimental hall, filled to 88%, its best result since opening in 2013.
The Blick review notes that jazz itself now occupies a smaller share of the programme, replaced by pop and contemporary acts that pull younger audiences.
Highlights included saxophonist Charles Lloyd, aged 88 and back at Montreux for the first time since 1967, alongside bassist Marcus Miller marking the Miles Davis centenary.
