Jazz clubs France

31 years of existence and passion with a new season to put jazz in our hearts. Concerts, festivals, the association of musicians and music lovers, enthusiasts and volunteers, perpetuates a tradition of Jazz and Blues culture very much alive in Annecy. The Jazz Club is able to showcase the most talented as well as the most promising musicians in a variety of venues (see our program on FB). Thanks to the energy and passion of its members, the Club is well established on the Annecy music scene, with concerts every second Wednesday of the month and the annual Festival at Château de Clermont. Quality programming in a warm, relaxed atmosphere.

The Jazz Club Lionel Hampton at Hotel Méridien became Etoile in 2009 after renovation. Since 1975, he has hosted traditional jazz orchestras, blues and rhythm blues in a very comfortable environment of three hundred places. Batteur, the famous figure of the business show of his time, created it. These are legends such as Lionel Hampton, of course, Fats Domino, BB King, Cab Calloway, Oscar Peterson, Dr John, Screamin'Jay Hawkins, Allen All, Solomon Burke, Dizzy Gillespie… Claude Bolling, Christian Morin, Michel Leeb, Sacha Distel also played or sang. Note that Sunday, the brunch with trio jazz is very pleasant!

Opened in 2009 instead of the former Habana Jazz, the 9 Jazz Club offers a program that makes the most of women's voices, and has safe values such as guitarist Nelson Veras or pianist Alain Jean-Marie. On the spot, you will be able to enjoy the pleasant dishes, that is to say, you can enjoy the good dishes, accompanied by a concert. For jazz/blues lovers, this 9 Jazz club has become one of the references of the capital. Take advantage of it!

Organised by the Creation Laboratory, the monthly evenings "J 4 ZZ" give musicians the opportunity to translate new ideas into complete freedom. Pianist Yaron Herman opened this appointment in September 2009. Every Thursday of the month, jazz is honoured, like the Mélomania cycle, devoted to classical music since 2006. The aim is, of course, to bring jazz to new audiences (young audiences, novice public audiences…) thanks to free concerts in the festive hall, while allowing free meetings between musicians of jazz and improvised.

This three-hundred-seat club is one of the rooms of the Gemini, a high-quality cultural institution. The musicians who go here, with one or two concerts a month, are among the best in the French scene and offer often unpublished projects before presenting them to Paris.

The program in 2009-2010: Prévert Blues by Henri Texier and Frédéric Pierrot - 23 October - Latinidades by the Caratini Jazz Ensemble - 13 November -, Julien Just - 8 December -, Antoine Hervé and Jean-François Zygel - 18 December - L'Intranquilité de Pessoa by Christophe Marguet and Frédéric Pierrot - from 27 to 29 January, André Connection - 12 and 13 February -, Angelo Debarre and Ludovic Beier - 26 March -, Half Evans - April 14 -…

Since the disappearance in 2004 of Guy Labory, the initiator of the prestigious international arena festival, jazz seemed to have deserted the city somewhat. But for some years now, the Jazz 70 Association has been able to boast about the jazz in Nîmes. Members of the Jazz Group in L'R, programmers and turners have been re-established as an indispensable partner for many operations. The association had the good idea of not confining itself to elitist chapels. As a result, those who work around the artistic Director, Stéphane Kochoyan, seek to mix styles to bring together all generations around jazz. Thursday of Nîmes, the musical evenings of the Imperator, the atria, the 9 or the Milonga del Angel, not forgetting the festivals, Jazz at Vauvert in summer and Jazz Valley in autumn, the choices are voluntarily eclectic. Announcing a concert about every month, Jazz 70 publishes a small programme and invites its audience to support the association by subscribing (15 € individually, 20 for a couple) and thus enjoying discounted rates on concerts.

Le Duc des Lombards has established itself as one of the capital's leading jazz venues. Thanks to its exceptional acoustics (unquestionably one of the best in Paris), the "Duc" attracts all the great soloists and orchestras on the international jazz scene. The principle is simple: two concerts are programmed daily, the first at 7.30pm, the second at 10pm, from Monday to Saturday. For night owls, don't miss the "Jams de Duc", with sessions from midnight to 4am on Friday and Saturday!

The club offers private room dancing with the dancers of your choice. You can also take advantage of the bar and discover the menu of cocktails, beverages, champagnes, wines and soft drinks. The establishment also organizes special events; check the calendar for details. La Suitte accepts reservations for couples, groups and bachelor parties.
