Jez Nelson presents music celebrating the rich Paris jazz scene. Featuring esteemed bass player Henri Texier's Quartet, plus sets from young pianist Eve Risser and experimental trio Jean Louis recorded on the final night of a week-long series of Parisian-inspired concerts at Kings Place in London.

Henri Texier's Red Route Quartet play elements of classic love songs, which are improvised over freely, allowing Texier's North African connections to seep through. The band consists of his son Sebastien on sax and clarinet, drummer Christophe Marguet and guitarist Manu Codjia.

Representing the next generation of Parisian jazz, Eve Risser performs a solo set on prepared piano, followed by electronic wizardry and brilliantly energetic original compositions from the trio Jean Louis.
