July/October 1978 - Queen Story!

"Jazz"

🔸Queen's seventh studio album was the first to be recorded outside of the UK. Sessions for Jazz began at Mountain Studios in Switzerland, in July 1978, and later moved to Super Bear studios in Nice, France, concluding in October. Producer Roy Thomas Baker had been absent on the previous two LPs, but for this project the team was reunited - though it would prove to be the last Queen/Baker production. Geoff Workman and John Etchells were the engineers.

Jazz was released in the UK on 10th November 1978 and four days later in America.

Singles from this album: 'Fat Bottomed Girls' / 'Bicycle Race' / 'Don’t Stop Me Now' /'Jealousy'
