Ça fait deux ans depuis mon dernier passage à l'Église Saint-Germain-Des-Prés à Paris.

Voici tout l'info sur les premières d'une séries de concerts de gospel dans cette édifice magnifique. Je serai accompagnée par pianiste, Alberto Pibiri et les chanteuses Kimberley et Laura Senneron.

N'hésitez pas de nous dire "bonjour".



It has been two years since my last concert at Saint Germain-Des-Pres in Paris.

On the Seine

Ever long for dinner by candlelight with intermittent music, in intimate company with a view of the Seine? Le River Café peniche, with its spacious wood interior is the place you're longing for. In fact, I sang there last night. Every Wednesday, all year round, is jazz night, presenting jazz artists of grand caliber such as Michele Hendricks, daughter of famed singer, Bill Hendricks of Hendricks, Lambert & Ross fame. I usually sing Jazz there but last night's concert was a changeup from the norm. With bassist Nicolas Rageau and newcomer on the Paris scene, pianist Greg Lloyd, we alternately rocked the house and soothed the spirit with gospel, negro spirituals and inspirational songs. What's that? Songs like "I believe", "You'll never walk alone", "If I had a Hammer" etc. Get the picture? Or rather, the song? If you're a musician it's a tough nut to crack, after all, people are eating and speaking. But eventually they finish dessert and then they're all yours. Le River Café is situated on Quai Alexandre in Issy les Moulineaux. Check out their site for further info and check mine for our next performance there and elsewhere.
