Tonight, I'm thinking of dropping by the Swan Bar's vocal jam. But I might head home fairly early, because on Thursday, May 17th, I'll be at the Showcase under the Pont Alexandre for the finale of the St-G-des-P festival...Eol trio, Beat Assailant, Rubin Steiner, and Aronas. Starts at 9pm, wear your highest heels.
Friday night, there's Bobby McFerrin at the Theatre du Chatelet [place du Chatelet there with the sphinx fountain, 9pm, tix 20-55 euros]...have to admit I haven't thought about Bobby McFerrin for nearly twenty years (sheesh, feelin' old) but just took a listen to some new stuff of his, and you know, he still has the good quirkiness he had back in '87...
Saturday afternoon, Archie Shepp will drop into the FNAC at Ternes (26 ave. des Ternes) around 4pm, promoting his double album Gemini. And in the evening, Baptiste Trotignon is playing the Salle Pleyel--there might still be tickets for this (call 01.42.56.13.13) He was just at FNAC yesterday, promoting last year's Solo II (from Naive). But at Pleyel, there'll be hints of his newer work too--Trotignon often plays (& improvises) with Aldo Romano and Remi Vignolo... [252 Fbg Saint-Honore Metro Ternes, 8pm, 30 euros]
Sunday, odds are I'll drop by the great new venue, the "Dessous-de-Ginette" (that's their sign, up there) for an apero...live music starts when the bar opens at 6:30 pm [101 rue de Caulincourt Metro Lamark-Caulincourt, 01.46.06.01.49]
