The Noosa Heads Jazz Club proudly presents PARIS CAFÉ JAZZ 1920 – 1950’s. Featuring – The Noosa Jazz Ensemble.
This concert, with the Noosa Jazz Ensemble, will capture the the timeless charm and elegance of the Paris Cafe Jazz experience from the 1920 – 1950’s era. Jazz was born in America but Paris was the first to hail it as an art form.
War-weary and hungry for diversion, Parisians in the 1920’s embraced this exotic musical form. Musicians, expatriate authors, avant-garde artists, flappers and socialites converged on the Casino’s, Clubs, Cabarets and Cafés where jazz reigned. Paris became a crossroads for jazz musicians from around the world.
Paris Cafés featuring hauntingly beautiful French songs by Edith Piaf, Django Reinhardt and Stephen Grapelli mixed with captivating jazz standards from acclaimed American Jazz musicians, Josephine Baker, Cole Porter, Sidney Bechet, Louis Armstrong, Billy Holiday and Eartha Kitt, amongst many others who gravitated to Paris, gained vast audience appeal.
