Founded in 1984 and renovated in 2008, it welcomes the great names of the profession (Aldo Romano, Erik Truffaz, Richard Galliano&#8230;), as well as up-and-coming talents, with many records recorded live, thanks to the acoustic quality of the club.  <\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/ducdeslombards.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-130066 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/ducdeslombards.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"511\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/ducdeslombards.jpg 511w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/ducdeslombards-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/ducdeslombards-73x55.jpg 73w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 511px) 100vw, 511px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: justify\">Wayne Escoffery, critically acclaimed saxophonist in his forties, revisits the classic quartet formation, blowing out his melodious themes and leaving plenty of room for improvisation by his excellent musicians: David Kikoski on piano, Ugonna Okegwo on double bass and the energetic Ralph Peterson on drums. Each of them performs a great number throughout the evening.<br \/>\nJazz is a pure spectacle: we enjoy listening to it, of course, over a drink. But it&#8217;s also fascinating to watch the musicians constantly communicating with each other to tune their performances. And it&#8217;s made all the easier by the fact that the venue&#8217;s layout means you can get up close and personal with the musicians.<br \/>\nGoing to see jazz in Paris, in the hushed atmosphere of the Duc des Lombards, is an experience you won&#8217;t regret!   <\/h6>\n<h5><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ducdeslombards.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.ducdeslombards.com<\/a><\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paris offers endless possibilities for going out.
