Janet Evra's new record "Meet Me in Paris" is out NOW!

"Meet Me in Paris" is a fresh, fun, forward-facing performance of the French jazz canon. From the first track, a lively Afro-Cuban mixed-meter reinterpretation of Henri Betti’s classic “C’est Si Bon”, the listener is transported to a Parisian cafe, where this music wafts over a counter piled with baguettes and pains au chocolat. Evra’s arrangements are accessible but also rich with small complexities that will delight serious “jazz heads” and critics.

"Meet Me in Paris" was selected as JAZZIZ album of the week: "In recent years, Evra has wowed audiences at prestigious festivals on both sides of the Atlantic. With Meet Me in Paris, Evra joins the famed ranks of celebrated interpreters like Stacey Kent and Melody Gardot in paying homage to and sharing her profound affection for the tradition of French chansons... [Meet Me in Paris] reveals Evra’s unique artistic imprint." JAZZIZ, October 16, 2023
