Inspired by the swinging music that emerged from the infamous Parisian Cafes and nightclubs of the 1930s and 1940s, Benoit and His Orchestra are a unique ensemble that celebrates the popular songs played by artists like Django Reinhardt, Stéphane Grappelli, Louis Armstrong and Sidney Bechet.

With all the romanticism and nostalgia of the French repertoire and with a nod to the American jazz virtuosi who visited Paris, this is the perfect mix of European finesse and the restless fervour of American hot jazz.
