Don' miss


Don' Miss... both on the 7th of March...

The Brad Meldau Trio at Salle Pleyel
With Brad Mehldau on piano, Larry Grenadier on bass and Jeff Ballard on drums.

In the mid-1990’s he became known as a partner for the saxophonist Joshua Redman. But Brad Mehldau will be recognized for the series entitled "The Art of Trio". A set of albums that, under the veneer of the classic jazz trio, contain a unique and vibrant personality. Don’t miss this concert in the fabulous acoustics of the Salle Pleyel



and the Divan du Monde is one of my favourite venues... filled with atmosphere and in the now jumping neighbourhood of Montmartre and the Boulevard. They're doing a free form Apero Swing Jazz, (translation - Drinks and Gypsy Jazz) and it'll be a bunch of fine invited guests. There's no entry charge, so you can wander in, see who's playing. Wander out along the boulevard and grab a drink on a terrace and then wander back a little later.

Thanks for the site. I lived in Paris from 1997-98 and used to go to La Paillotte all the time on Rue M. le Prince. It was a tiki bar that served punch maison and supposedly had the best record collection in Paris. No live stuff, but it was my favorite.

I was curious if you knew of anything going on this weekend or next week? March 14-18? I have a jazz/live music lover friend coming in town from NYC and wanted to impress her. We're looking for something casual (meaning, not expensive), dinner could be around the corner. We went to school in Chicago together and our favorite place was the Green Mill, if that gives you an idea.

Aside from that, I was curious what your favorite place was. Knowing a bit more about my taste, would you recommend a particular club? I haven't seen any live music (aside from a Chopin concert) since I got here 6 months ago.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Take care,

Lauren
