Grand Bal Swing with L’Esprit Jazz Big Band

Re-live the ambience of the big American jazz bands of the 50s! L’Esprit Jazz Big Band, composed of thirteen musicians and one singer, will keep you dancing to a unique and original beat at one of the showcase events of the Festival Jazz à Saint-Germain-des-Prés. The orchestra will re-visit the music of Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller with his famous In the Mood. Swing your skirts and dance around the beautiful courtyard of the CCI. Create the atmosphere of a village fête, come dressed up or coiffed as you would have in the fifties and you will be offered a reduced price ticket.
