About This Past Event:
Last July, Evan Christopher's sold out evenings at the Duc des Lombards, the best listening room in Paris, commemorated the centenary of Sidney Bechet's 1919 debut in Europe. In the nascent days of jazz, Bechet opened the music world's eyes to the music's possibilities. Featured artists included pianist Philippe Milanta, bassist Sébastien Girardot and drummer Julie Saury.

Anyone else get that nagging feeling playing through tunes? You feel pretty sure that it's close, but you know you're skating in spots... Bugged about not *really* knowing the melody or changes 100%? ...One of my more enjoyable pandemic practice exercises has been re-learning old songs I like. So, if I started a little workshop-formatted livestream where we mess around with selections from the New Orleans canon, would you be interested? ![]()

First workshop is tomorrow night. We'll stream live on this page, after hours, from the backroom of Aidan Gill For Men, barbershop and museum.
