Last night we went to the Jazz club at the Meridien Hotel in the Port Maillot area near l'Etoile at l'Arc de Triomphe. I had first gone to this club with my friend Robert Crief from my days at Otis (the company, not the house). It is a medium-sized night club that has live music every night beginning at 10:30.Last night there was a four piece band and singer (called Air Swing and Fire????) featuring Cole Porter tunes. It was Sunday night and they were about half full. We were in the second row of tables. It couldn't have been more perfect -in Paris - Cole Porter - songs in English; I could understand! We were in heaven.
The club has a 25 E minimum (generally, the price of the first drink). That's for the evening, not the set. After that the prices drop to a more reasonable level. We stayed for about 2 hours. I can
never understand why NY has no places like this.Le Jazz Club Lionel Hampton
