Few things set the mood for an evening in Provence quite like live music. For guests seeking something atmospheric, stylish and deeply French, our concierge service recommends the trio Accord Sensible.
Based in the Vaucluse, this acoustic jazz band is made up of two gypsy guitars and a double bass. Their repertoire is as diverse as it is timeless, from Django Reinhardt classics such as Nuages or Troublant Boléro, to American jazz standards like Sunny and Blue in Green, through to beloved songs including La Vie en Rose or O Sole Mio. Each performance is infused with a personal touch, capturing the audience whether it is a lively wedding cocktail or an intimate dinner under the Provençal sky.
The spirit of gypsy jazz
Accord Sensible specialise in jazz manouche, a style born from the meeting of 1930s jazz and gypsy music. It is a sound that feels perfectly at home in Provence: energetic and powerful one moment, soft and hypnotic the next. Just as easily shared around a firepit as on a grand stage, it is music that thrives in moments of connection, which is exactly what Provence evenings are made for.
The trio first met at the IMFP, one of the region’s most respected jazz schools. United by a passion for gypsy jazz, they set out to create a project that celebrated its roots while keeping it alive for new audiences. Their influences are clear: Django Reinhardt of course, but also modern guitarists like Adrien Moignard and Stochelo Rosenberg, alongside American greats such as George Benson and Wes Montgomery.
