'... steeped in the French chanson tradition, but also dips its musical finger into swing, jazz, ska and cabaret.' The Age

If there's a real chill in the air this winter, you can put it down to the cool of Paris Combo. Direct from studio sessions in Paris, this quintessentially French quintet has captured the spirit of The Hot Club de France, and distilled it into something unique and contemporary. Fronted by the sensational chanteuse Belle du Berry, Paris Combo features David Lewis on trumpet, Potzi on guitar, Mano on bass and François on percussion and drums.

Together, they blend a cocktail of Gypsy music, sparkling pop, cool American jazz, and a smoky hint of Django Reinhardt and pour it out with intelligence, a subtle sense of humour, and above all else, exquisite taste.

After two sold-out Australian tours, Paris Combo return exclusively for the Adelaide Cabaret Festival.

A marvellous musical melange whose stage performances radiate with the pure pleasure of music making.

If you like the sound of PARIS COMBO, you might also enjoy The Songs Of Jacques Brel or Whispering.
