Jazz clubs Midi-Pyrénées

Guy Labory was a saxophonist from Nîmes who created the jazz club of Nîmes which has over 200 concerts to its credit. Today, the Labory Jazz Club production brings together jazz musicians of national and international level, under its own label. The LJC offers concerts and types of events, not to mention the annual three-day "tribute to Guy Labory" festival. The bodega of the Poet, rue Thoumayne, is the historical place of their concerts, which are becoming more and more regular.

Le Taquin is the place for jazz lovers! But beyond this music, the hall is also widely open to current music. Between 3 and 5 concerts per week, from Wednesday to Sunday, to liven up your evening. Many talented artists are on the bill: Freddy Taquine, Red Cardell, the Nicolas Gardel Quartet... The Taquin also welcomes visual artists, photographers to exhibit and offers you to have a bite to eat with a drink (3 new dishes every week and a vegetarian option...). A very pleasant place to go out !

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.

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.
