Hi L,

From my trip report:
http://www.fodors.com/community/euro...oes-france.cfm

"....on Rue St Benoit is Le Jazz Club, where Swing style jazz is the order of the day. Marcelle Zanini (clarinet and vocal) and Ahmed Gülbay (piano) gave us an enjoyable presentation of old and not so old standards and a few original pieces – very enjoyable. 6E cover charge + 1 drink - 28E.

It still being early (there were people on the streets), we walked up the street to Le Bilboquet for something entirely different. Hidegarde Wanzlawe, accompanied by a jazz combo, gave a lively performance of American and French songs. Her Eastern European accent (in both English and French) added a delightful layer to her scat singing.

Bobby Edwards, a local fellow with a great talent on the bass sax, sat in for a set of “Cherokee”. The whole group swang and the crowd went wild".

Enjoy your visit.

There is Cafe Laurent at the Hotel d'aubusson in the 6th that always seems busy. The music is good,too.

Will, try Cafe Laurent. The Jazz Festival is on while we are there... Wonderful
Thank you

We enjoyed Cafe Laurent on both our trips. Plus, it was close enough that at 9:50 or 10:50 one could run out to the nearby bridge over the Seine and watch the Eiffel light up. Then go back to listen to more jazz!
