NEW YORK JAZZ BAR IN MONTPARNASSE

165 Blvd Montparnasse, in the 6th Arrondissement
(Métros: Raspail/Vavin RER: Port Royal)
Open Tuesday through Saturday from 7 pm to wee hours

This is a recommendation!

To all of you who might like an interesting jazz bar in Montparnasse, Lionel Bloom's Swan Bar in the Boulevard Montparnasse is a wee jewel.
Lionel has been a fixture in Montparnasse since the 60s. He started life in Manhattan, became a professor here in Paris. But always wanted to create a New York style jazz bar. And he has succeeded.
Most nights one can hear not only up and coming musicians, but also highly established ones from many corners of the world. It's my favorite kind of soft jazz plus interesting vocalists singing in both French and English.
It's open from Tuesday through Saturday from 7pm to the wee hours.

I have organized two New Year's Eve celebrations with Lionel and we are in the process of having another this 31st of December. Contact me nearer the time for further information.
