The Jazz Room in Marseille: What concerts are happening right now?
The Jazz Room: a journey to the heart of New Orleans
When you enter the Cabaret Etoile Bleue for this special evening, you’ll witness a vibrant tribute to the city that gave birth to jazz. Expect improvisation to be at the heart of the show, with standards such as “When The Saints Go Marching In” echoing through the room. Here, we celebrate the flamboyant spirit of 1920s New Orleans: traditional jazz, ragtime, and brass fanfares.
The Jazz Room: a tribute to Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong
Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away by two voices that shaped the soul of jazz in the 20th century. On the one hand, Louis Armstrong, a pioneer with a husky voice and incandescent swing, who transformed improvisation into a universal language. On the other, Frank Sinatra, master of phrasing and restrained emotion, heir to vocal jazz, which he made both intimate and popular. This moment celebrates a meeting of styles and eras, where jazz becomes living memory and shared emotion.

Excellence is at the heart of every Jazz Room evening, carried by a group of professional musicians playing live, just a few steps away from you. Their repertoire is full of timeless classics, but the performance is always unique thanks to a great freedom of improvisation.
