Is Prince a jazzman ?

I don't know whether Montreal is following Montreux' lead or vice versa, but they both have their fair share of crossover acts at both festivals. When I was at Montreux, two years ago, Chickenfoot played there!
I wouldn't call Prince a jazz guy, but certainly a highly innovative musician. KD Lang was also there, and I wouldn't actually call her a jazz artist either. Honestly, it doesn't bother me one bit.
I guess, I'd call it a "mostly jazz" festival!
And I too, love Montreal, so it's fine with me, however they want to proceed.
