How often do you get to see a jazz great like Herbie Hancock in concert - for free? This weekend, as part of the La Defense Jazz Festival, he’ll be performing along with Pura Fe, Sunday evening, June29th at La Defense esplanade.
Be sure to check out La Defense Jazz Festival website for the complete weekend program which also includes Pura fe.
And if that’s not reason enough to hop on the #1 Metro line, direction La Defense, keep in mind that Solomon Burke will be performing on Saturday, June 28th, 2008. Getting to La Defense from central Paris is so easy. The #1 line is direct. When you exit from the La Defense terminal, you’ll be write on the Grande Arch esplanade.

That’d be pretty cool, to see Herbie perform in Paris. Wish I were there.
I was there, it was awesome
herbie was really in very good shape, I think it’s the perfect kind of shows for people who discover jazz, because herbie manage to entertain with tunes not to complex, and give way enough music for musicians and jazz addicts.
I think the jazz needs this balance to not be considered as snob music.
I have no problem when they play lighter stuffs as long it’s beautifull.
I hate people who complain that they also played a bit of rock. Jazz was always inspired by popular music, and it’s interesting to see how they are jazzified, and herbie is doing really well on this.
I am sure he could jazzify a mettalica tune ^^
