Hi! My family and I are looking forward to our trip to Paris in March (fingers crossed that it actually happens). I am wondering if anyone has recommendations for great live jazz in Paris?
I had planned to go to the Caveau de la Huchette on our last trip, but we didn’t get around to it. Historic club in an ancient building said to be a meeting place of the Knights Templar.
Sunside-Sunset (very small but you can see New York jazz players and the best international pass through here)
Duc Des Lombards (it is on the same street and has the same quality as Sunset-Sunside)
New Morning Cafe (international acts)
The French along with the Japanese are some greatest consumers of jazz music (an original American art form) and have great jazz festivals since 1950's ; only the French maintain a site like this one available in English with up to date calendar listings of jazz concerts
Bookmarking this thread for sure.
Thanks @jaczxy for asking the question, and thanks (of course) @Jazz+Travels for the good info.
If you’re riding the metro, it’s possible that you’ll hear live jazz music after entering points of entry.
I'll be in Paris late March/Early April as well, and have on my to-do list to find some places for some jazz manouche (Gypsy jazz). I'll be watching this thread for sure! When I worked in Paris, the office I worked in was right across the street from L'Olympia - not jazz but great 60's rock and rollers played here, Beatles, Hendrix, etc.

Recently attended jazz show at Duc Des Lombards. There was no charge on Monday evening and a very enjoyable set. Also, Sunrise/Sunside is just a few steps away. Lively area to hang in with numerous cafes, etc.
