We need a performance space suited to the number of musicians (approximately one square meter for each) and an electrical outlet.
We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment.
Yes, we’re completely self contained. We bring our own PA system to all of our gigs. We do not provide lighting systems.
Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music.
Yes, we can travel anywhere in France.
Our work has taken us from Brittany to Provence. L’Épicerie du Jazz has also performed in Italy and Poland—anything is possible!
Yes, if the performance takes place around mealtime, we ask that you provide a meal for each musician.
In 2018 we won the Jazz à Vannes festival's talent competition and thanks to that we played on the main stage as the opening act for Kenny Garrett.
We love playing at all sorts of events whether in the foreground or to accompany discussions with hushed jazz.
It all began in 2013, when childhood friends Quentin and Hugo started out by performing jazz standards in bars. As other musicians gradually joined them, they decided to found *L'Épicerie du Jazz* in 2016—a collective designed to meet event requests centered on jazz, a genre defined by its remarkable versatility and openness.
The legendary stars (Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Charlie Parker...) shaped our jazz education. But we also draw inspiration from icons of related genres : James Brown for funk, Nina Simone for soul, Elis Regina for bossa nova, Django Reinhardt for Gypsy jazz...
Our arrival time will depend on the time required for setup. For a duo, we often need only 30 minutes, whereas an hour and a half will be required for a sextet. We can add one or two extra sets of 40 minutes, but there will be an additional charge.
We are happy to perform outdoors, but we require shade if it is too hot, shelter in case of rain, a level surface, and a power supply near the performance area.
We can learn specific songs before the event but we usually limit this to 3 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them.
Previous customers highlight our professionalism, our musicality and our cordiality.
L'Épicerie du Jazz performs at all types of events (birthdays, wedding cocktail hours, seminars, corporate functions, neighborhood parties, dances, galas, etc.).
Whether you simply wish to enhance your event with elegant, warm background music that fosters conversation, enjoy the music you love—and share it with your guests—by experiencing a genuine concert, or set the dance floor on fire with live music, L'Épicerie du Jazz will always find the perfect recipe to make your event unique.
It all depends on the desired atmosphere. While an instrumental group offers a subtle, mellow soundscape, a band with vocals makes your event a bit more memorable and inviting—especially if the guests know the lyrics!
Drums provide a rhythmic structure that allows people to instantly recognize familiar songs, without necessarily increasing the volume significantly.
