New York, NY (May 17, 2005) – Eagle Rock Entertainment and Eagle Vision, the exclusive label for the Live at Montreux DVD series, move to the front of the vaults to present two recent performances from the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival. George Clinton and Parliament / Funkadelic ~ Live at Montreux 2004 and Nile Rogers & Chic ~ Live at Montreux 2004 hit the streets May 31, 2005.
George Clinton & Parliament / Funkadelic delivered a profound two and a half hour performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2004.

George Clinton & Parliament / Funkadelic were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 and were ranked #6 on the 50 Greatest Bands of All Time list in Spin Magazine.
