Melissa Lesnie: 100 Years of Gatsby the Magnificent

Step into the roaring twenties at the 38Riv Jazz Club, where Australian vocalist Melissa Lesnie channels the elegance and nostalgia of F. Scott Fitzgerald's Jazz Age. Accompanied by pianist Jean-Baptiste Franc, a master of 1920s style, Lesnie revives the golden twilight with foxtrots, charlestons, and blues that once graced Jay Gatsby's soirées.

The intimate venue in the heart of the Marais provides the perfect backdrop for this journey through ragtime, hot jazz, and Tin Pan Alley standards, including early hits by Gershwin and Irving Berlin. The performance celebrates the centenary of Fitzgerald's masterpiece, written on the French Riviera in 1924, infusing the air with the spirit of the era.

Attendees can expect a velvety vocal performance that brings to life the music of the Jazz Age, from the first successes of Gershwin to the timeless charm of Irving Berlin. It's an evening of retro elegance and musical storytelling in one of Paris's dedicated jazz venues.
