The five student works published here were carried out as part of the 2018-2019 annual master’s course in musicology “Music, politics and society” (Professor Constance Frei, assistant Grégory Rauber) of the SHS program of the EPFL College of Humanities (CdH). The subject of the course proposed a musicological approach to the archives of the Montreux Jazz Festival preserved on the EPFL campus and processed by the Metamedia Center (now Cultural Heritage & Innovation Center, CHC) under the direction of Alain Dufaux. A truly extraordinary event: for the first time in history, the archives of the Montreux Jazz Festival have been opened to EPFL students in the frame of a lecture. The objective of this course was also to create a link between the different actors of EPFL, between musicological education and technological innovation around the Montreux Jazz Digital Project. This dialogue proved to be not only fruitful and stimulating but also of an incredible richness in terms of discoveries and collaborations. Here we would like to warmly thank Alain Dufaux and Charlotte Graber, scientific assistant at CHC. The students’ mission was to carry out research work on a subject of their choice on the basis of documents available in the archives (audio and video recordings, databases, photos, interviews, etc.). Many original themes have been the subject of SHS memoirs of remarkable quality. In an open and participatory research process, the first five works on the list were selected for this online publication.
