Les lundis Jazz manouche

Gypsy Jazz Mondays at Le Parisien Saint-Martin offer an immersion into Gypsy swing, with musicians like Octave et Anatole animating these evenings dedicated to the genre.

Every Monday, Le Parisien Saint-Martin celebrates gypsy jazz, a style born in France under the impetus of Django Reinhardt. This musical genre, characterised by its energy and virtuosity, blends Gypsy, musette, and 1930s American jazz influences. Artists such as Octave et Anatole, known for their mastery of acoustic guitars and their sense of improvisation, are regularly invited to bring these evenings to life.

On stage, expect a typical gypsy jazz formation, often composed of two rhythm guitars, a lead guitar, and a double bass. The atmosphere is that of an intimate jazz club, where proximity to the musicians allows for full appreciation of the performers' dexterity and the spontaneity of the musical exchanges. The repertoire alternates between genre standards and original compositions, always with that warm and captivating sound.

These evenings are aimed at jazz lovers, curious individuals eager to discover gypsy swing, as well as those who appreciate the convivial atmosphere of Parisian café-concerts. Le Parisien Saint-Martin offers an ideal setting to be carried away by the catchy melodies and inspired solos, in a relaxed and authentic atmosphere.
