Close your eyes, you’re in Paris not Maidenhead thanks to Oh la la! Quintet – A Night in Paris
The Oh la la! Quintet present to audiences a mixture of Parisian folk music (musette), impressionist music, French chanson and unforgettable 20s upbeat and 50s smooth jazz.
There’s also film noir/nouvelle music, the occasional rearranged cool 60s French pop tune as well as original material from their upcoming album.
The dulcet tones of Parisian born Fifi la Mer’s voice and the evocative sound of her accordion blend with the talents of Oliver Wilby on clarinet.
Then the exuberance and beautiful sound of Oliver’s saxophone transports audiences to a buzzy jazz club with the cool feel of Simon Picton on guitar and the groove of Julian Bury on double bass.
