The Last Time We Saw Paris with Melanie O'Reilly Jazz Quartet

Melanie O'Reilly Jazz Quartet: The Last Time We Saw Paris with Carole Nelson - Piano, Dave Mooney - Bass, Michael Behan - Guitar

Join Melanie O'Reilly and her Trio for this very special night as part of the Wexford Festival Fringe. The Last Time We Saw Paris is the title of the Dave Brubeck Quartet's last live performance recorded at the Salle Pleyel in Paris in November 1967. 

Melanie and her trio pay tribute to Dave Brubeck's jazz music influenced by French composer Darius Milhaud, and which include lyrics by Iola Brubeck to Brubeck's compositions. This special Franco-Wexford jazz night will also include songs from Melanie's le Jazz est Revenu repertoire, hugely popular at last year's Wexford Arts Festival, as she celebrates French songs and songwriters in jazz and film, internationally known and loved performed in Paris. Enjoy the songs made popular by Michel le Grand, Charles Aznavour and Jazques Brel, Edith Piaf, Maurane, Claude Nougaro and Henri Salvador.
