Marc Copland Trio live in Paris

Experience Marc Copland Trio live on July 16th

Marc Copland Trio will perform at Sunset, a renowned jazz club located in Paris, France on July 16, 2026. The trio, led by pianist Marc Copland, is recognized for its lyrical and harmonically sophisticated approach to modern jazz. Their music frequently draws upon influences from Bill Evans and Paul Bley, characterized by introspective improvisation, delicate interplay between musicians, and a focus on melodic development rather than virtuosic display. Copland’s compositions often explore modal jazz and feature extended harmonies. The group typically consists of Copland on piano, alongside a bassist and drummer who contribute significantly to the ensemble’s atmospheric sound.

Sunset (originally Le Chat Qui Fume) has been a fixture of the Parisian jazz scene since its founding in 1951. Initially a meeting place for artists and intellectuals as much as musicians, it quickly gained prominence hosting performances by American jazz expatriates like Dexter Gordon and Kenny Dorham during the 1950s and 60s. Over the decades it has continued to showcase both established names and emerging talent within the jazz world. The club is known for its intimate setting and dedication to acoustic jazz performance.
