A jazz concert in the Library.

I took the children to the Library on Saturday and as we were about to leave, Jean-Baptiste noticed there was going to be some music in the exhibition room. We stayed on, not knowing what to expect. Posters on the walls gave me a clue. It was a band from Toulouse called  “Trio Zira”. It also said they played “oriental Jazz”. Not knowing what to expect, I was a bit anxious.

Classical jazz is fine with me, but experimental Jazz is not my thing. I find it strange to my hears and difficult to understand. But I was quite pleased when they started playing. It was pleasant music. We stayed about an hour and we left before the end as the children were getting bored.

I wouldn’t have chosen to come to a concert on a Saturday afternoon, especially if it is advertised as “oriental Jazz”. I’d be afraid to be surrounded by middle-class french intellectuals trying to sound clever by discussing the intricate details of the music and its influences. But I didn’t have to speak with anyone, to my relief. You can check that band’s website and listen to some music: http://triozira.free.fr/
