Our Music in Paris will transport you to the jazz clubs of post-war Paris, celebrating the creative freedom throughout the city and wider European scene during the 20th century. After WWI Paris became a place of honour and inspiration for American jazz musicians, often denied such creativity in their homeland.
Musicians such as Sidney Bechet, Bud Powell, Dexter Gordon and Miles Davis inspired local musicians to create a vibrant jazz scene. Our Music in Paris is led by award-winning saxophonist Dan Forshaw alongside a world-class band of musicians – an unmissable evening of jazz.
