Les Arènes du Jazz
Just a few more days left to enjoy an evening of jazz at the foot of the Sacré-Coeur de Montmartre. Tonight Rhoda Scott’s Hammond organ will fill the air. The ever versatile Scott gives a blend of traditional jazz classics, French tunes, as well as Negro spirituals and Gospel from her impressive repertoire.
Tomorrow evening Lemmy Constantine and his group will perform his Manouche music. When asked to define what style he plays, Constantine says, “I tell them to imagine Frank Sinatra meeting Django Reinhardt…..Manouche music is to jazz what punk was to rock. Rebel music.”
Friday is the finale and what better way to conclude than to have the Martial Solal Trio. The New York Times declared that this Algerian born virtuoso “might be the greates living European jazz pianist. This is one concert you should not miss!
