Caveau de la Huchette - Paris, France

The Al Copley Trio, with Paul Ulrich on upright bass and Gerry Fieve on drums, is back at home in Al's favorite Parisian joint ! (How many years now has it been -- 17? Why that's one year longer than he played with Roomful of Blues !)

The Caveau de la Huchette is the oldest Parisian "temple du jazz" still in existence. The incomparable AMBIANCE of these medeval rooms, once the headquarters of Robespierre's Reign of Terror during the French Revolution, and since 1945 the home of millions of swing dancers and thousands of jazz sessions, makes it a truly renewable resource, and a delightful discovery for youth of all ages. THE JOY OF DANCING is the thing here, and with our Trio will be playing for a full and fully swinging dancefloor.

It's such a joy to play honest blues and jazz in these flowing improvs; that's really where it's at for me !!!!

Caveau de la Huchette; 5, rue de la Huchette 5eme arr., 75005 Paris; tel: 01 43 29 52 37 Sets from 10:15 pm til 2:30 am.
