Le Café Bleu transports the audience - be it young or old, rock audience or jazz fans - into their own sound-scape.

Le Café Bleu is a tribute to the Belle Epoque of European jazz.Imagine how it must have been in Paris when the great artists like Django Reinhard, Quincy Jones or Francy Boland met in the 'blue hours' at night after their concerts in some little street café to jam a bit. There the great talents often met ex-patriate artists and in these exhilarating sessions improvisation was influenced from all over the world. Chansons mixed with bebop, latin, folklore and swing - this is what you heard in the Café Bleu spots. Le Café Bleu transports the audience - be it young or old, rock audience or jazz fans - into their own sound-scape. The strong melodies provide a blue thread during the evening with the musicians nearly dancing over all borders and conventions. This program is dedicated to world famous singer Édith Piaf. Well known repertoire like La Vie en Rose, Padam Padam or Hymne à l'amour are interpreted in a contemporary style influenced by jazz, improvised music and electronic sounds leading to a truly fresh mix.
