Jessica Fichot: French Chanson and Shanghai Jazz
August 21, 2015 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
$10 – $20
Jessica Fichot‘s acoustic style takes audiences on a journey out of the French chanson tradition and into the lands of gypsy jazz, 1940s Chinese swing, and international folk. With a French/Chinese/American upbringing and a pioneering spirit all her own, Jessica has brought her imagination to audiences across the world, backed by a fiery band, and armed with her accordion, toy piano, and multilingual vocals. Her first albums, Le Chemin and Le Secret, offer a beguiling musical tour that captivates listeners with an international savvy and a cross-cultural whimsy that’s utterly infectious.
Featuring:
Jessica Fichot – vocals, accordion
Sylvain Carton – clarinet, sax
Adrien Prévost – guitar
PJ Wyderka – upright bass
“Delightful. completely modern tunes that evoke the feel of a bygone time and place, where the cultures of east and west collide in unexpected ways” – LA Weekly
“A delicious blend of acoustic styles” – San Francisco Chronicle
