Discovery-France

In last week’s post we talked about the importance of getting out and supporting live music. I also mentioned that we would be starting a new series called Discovery where I hope to introduce you to 3 new musicians each week from different parts of the world. My hope is you will find some new discoveries, support them by buying their albums and by attending their concerts if you are in their area. Another benefit is for you to hear new musicians and how they approach their instrument and jazz. You never know where you might find your next favorite line!

Our first stop on our Discovery journey is to one of my favorite places to visit…France! There are a number of great jazz clubs to check out if you are in France. One of my favorites is Duc des Lombards in Paris. France has been the home to a number of jazz musicians known and unknown. Hopefully the musicians below are people you will start checking out (if you have not already).

These are just a few of literally hundreds of great jazz musicians you can find in and/or from France. If you have checked out these musicians above, be sure to check out their websites and albums to support them. I would also highly encourage you to look up other great French musicians and see what this great country has to offer in terms of Jazz.
