L'anthologie Caveau De La Huchette 1965-2017 (including
The Caveau de la Huchette club is a Mecca for jazz in Paris. It's also the last jazz club on earth where people dance every night thanks to live concerts_ For 70 years (since 1948!), the club has kept the flame of be-bop and swing alive for enthusiasts and novices alike, only a stone's throw from Notre-Dame. The Caveau even inspired Alan Sytner to open his equally famous Cavern in Liverpool where The Beatles made their debut. The greatest jazz names have taken the stage at the Caveau, from Lionel Hampton to Scott Hamilton, Claude Bolling, and Manu Dibango, not forgetting Memphis Slim, Bill Coleman, Sacha Distel or Claude Luter, making it an essential stopover for every visitor. Since 1970, vibraphone player Dany Doriz has been running the club, and he has successfully fought to perpetuate its passionate live traditions. Outside the Caveau burns the red hot sign of one of the world's leading live jazz venues, as shown by filmmaker Damien Chazelle's veiled tribute to the Caveau in his multi-Oscar-winning "La La Land" made in 2016.Augustin BONDOUX & Patrick FREMEAUX
