Bobby FEW is the American pianist who, in the early 80s, was the first to play at the Duc des Lombards, which at the time was a small bar called the 'Bar de l'Etoile' where an upright piano sat under the stairs.
According to Bobby, here are the 5 things that make a real jazz club:
A good piano
A broad-minded owner for creative music
An audience that listens well
A place where musicians can go after the concert to relax or improvise for their own pleasure
The proximity of people
This is why, for nearly 40 years, the Duc des Lombards has been the must-visit club in Paris. These five commandments are the foundations of this club, capable of welcoming the biggest names in jazz to its stage thanks to its excellent piano and allowing the young guard of French musicians to combine their instruments during the Duc's jam sessions.

Decorated by American designer Elliot Barnes, the Duc des Lombards has become the Parisian benchmark for jazz clubs, offering more than 300 concerts each year at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Monday to Saturday, and its free-entry jams every Friday and Saturday from 11:30 p.m.
