Jazz concert by Camelon Quartet

Classes have started again at Alliance Française. I have started 2A now, in the evening 4-6 PM batch. Yesterday, I stayed back to attend a nice Jazz concert at the Alliance Française by a French Jazz group called
Camelon Quartet. It consists of Sebastian Wacheux on Drums who appears to be the informal leader, David Remy Guitar, Stephen Beaucourt Bass and Thibaut Hien on Tenor Sax.

They played an eclectic collection of songs, ranging from straight Jazz, to Funk and Gypsy music. Their sax player was especially impressive in the slow and moody numbers. In general, they played a thoughtful and meditative set, without a great deal of pyrotechnics. The gypsy influenced pieces were specially interesting.

Overall, a very pleasant evening!

A couple more concerts coming up at AF next week!
