Step into the romance and rhythm of a Parisian night as acclaimed French chanteuse Noria Letts returns to Bird’s Basement with the Steve Sedergreen Trio for a celebration of the giants of jazz and blues.
Noria and the band fire up a musical melting pot, with an eclectic mix of music from the French - the likes of Gainsbourg, Michel LeGrand and Camille Bertault - through to the giants of the US - Coltrane, Monk and Brubeck - with a nod to their epic Parisian live recordings and one of the great epochs of modern music.
With Noria’s signature verve and style backed by a brilliant band, it’s an evening of dazzling music, technical virtuosity and joyous entertainment.
