Jazz concerts in Paris

500 jazz concerts in Paris, across 101 venues — 20 of them free and median entry price €27.50. Listings updated on .

Few cities offer this density of jazz: something is playing in Paris almost every night of the year. Our upcoming listings centre on a network of clubs — Sunside and Sunset on rue des Lombards, Le Baiser Salé a few doors down, 38Riv Jazz Club in the Marais, New Morning in the 10th, Le Bal Blomet in the 15th, Le Melville near the Champs-Élysées, Le Son de la Terre on the river and Le Triton just beyond the city limits. Le Duc des Lombards completes the central circuit.

These clubs share habits worth knowing. Concerts are announced at short notice, often only weeks ahead, so the list moves constantly. Several sets may follow one another in a single evening, and the time shown on a listing is the one for that performance. Prices, finally, stay moderate and carry no seating categories: you pick an evening on its programme, not on the price of the seat.

Alongside that network, the larger halls occasionally host orchestral formats and international headliners, in listening conditions and at prices that are quite different. This page brings both together, sorted by date, each concert with its venue, start time and a link to the official or partner ticket seller. Later pages reach deeper into the catalogue, and the date filter on the home page shows everything playing on a given evening, jazz included.

One last tool for choosing: the venue map, reachable from the home page, shows which clubs are near you. Since most cluster in the centre and the north-east, two addresses a few hundred metres apart can offer completely unrelated programmes on the same night — so changing your mind at the last minute stays possible.
