bertrand Posted August 31, 2011 Report Posted August 31, 2011 That's the best one. There's also Duc des Lombards a few doors down. Bertrand. Quote
EKE BBB Posted August 31, 2011 Report Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) If you like trad jazz, Le Petit Journal Saint-Michel is the place: http://claude.philips.pagesperso-orange.fr/ You may be lucky to attend a terrific stride piano concert by the great master Louis Mazetier. BTW, try to get a table near the piano! Second place for older jazz styles is Caveau de la Huchette: http://www.caveaudelahuchette.fr/1571/index.html Nice spot! I caught a wonderful performance of Claude Tissendier's Big Band a few years ago! Edited August 31, 2011 by EKE BBB Quote
etherbored Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Posted August 31, 2011 excellent. thanks very much! Quote
Ed S Posted August 31, 2011 Report Posted August 31, 2011 I'll add another recommendation for Caveau de la Huchette. Was there several years ago and had a blast. A saxophone quarter played... and people danced. Way cool atmosphere. Quote

etherbored Posted September 4, 2011 Author Report Posted September 4, 2011 ignoring this thread? Quote
Alexander Hawkins Posted September 5, 2011 Report Posted September 5, 2011 Le Baiser Sale right next door to Sunside/Sunset; also, for more 'out' stuff, check Les Instants Chavires. Depending on when you're going, the great Jazz A La Villette festival may still be on. I played there on Thursday, and just got back: there's some great stuff coming up, and the venue - Parc de La Villette - is absolutely spectacular. Quote
Leeway Posted September 5, 2011 Report Posted September 5, 2011 I'll add another recommendation for Caveau de la Huchette. Was there several years ago and had a blast. A saxophone quarter played... and people danced. Way cool atmosphere. I went t to the Caveau de la Huchette 10 years ago and had a similar experience--people danced! I was rather amazed; hardly ever see that at US jazz clubs. A fun atmosphere. Of course, the music was mostly swing to bop, nothing adventurous or cutting edge. I also recall some musicians from the audience getting up on stage and joining in for a song or two. Quote

johnlitweiler Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 I hope you get to hear Les Rois du Fox-Trot at Le Petit before you leave Paris. They play there at about the beginning of each month.Le Rois du Fox-Trot, I mean. Le Rois. Sorry. Quote
