Welcome to the 38Riv Jazz Club.
Here, you'll discover an atypical yet characteristic jazz venue: a breathtaking view of the artists, close seating for a relaxed atmosphere, stone vaults for an intimate setting and good acoustics for music lovers.
You'll meet Vincent Charbonnier, the self-proclaimed captain of this musical vessel. A former double bassist with an international career (check out Jacques Loussier's Play Bach Trio), Vincent's musical passion was brought to a screeching halt by a health accident. In 2007, after ten years of rehabilitation, he passed 38 rue de Rivoli, which boasted a poster of a beautiful 13th-century vaulted cellar: the opportunity to rediscover these artistic emotions was too good to pass up, so he turned it into a jazz club.
You'll hear the musicians who make jazz today, those who revisit the great currents of this music and those who reinvent it. You'll meet a team of enthusiasts who are eager to welcome you, whether it's your first or your hundredth visit.
Every evening, magic happens and a small miracle takes place.
