Jazz trip Paris
Food wine jazz Paris

A beacon of artistic freedom, 1920’s Paris lured thousands of American musicians who brought with them a unique relic of the modern age--jazz. Now it’s a haven for some of the best jazz clubs in the world. With Paris being the established epicenter of the food and wine world, you have the makings of a fantastic adventure! You can be a part of it with The Brubeck Institute’s Joe Gilman on “A Jazz and Culinary Adventure to Paris” from June 13 - 19, 2010. On this one-week cultural escape, you’ll enjoy jazz at the same clubs where it ripened in the 1920’s, sample many of the culinary delicacies whose roots are deeply embedded in French culture and history, and taste the most magnificent pastries, bread, chocolates, cheeses and wines. Enjoy live jazz in classic clubs, fine multi-course bistro dining, visit bustling produce markets and enjoy a private cooking class at the world famous Cordon Bleu! You’ll be treated to music- and food-focused guided walks of Parisian neighborhoods. In addition you will discover the historic wine cellars of Champagne and experience the colors of Monet’s vibrant gardens at Giverny.
