Le Melville is a historic jazz club located in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, established in 1989 by American expatriate Jean-Pierre Rasle. The club occupies a vaulted cellar dating back to the 17th century, originally used as a wine storage facility. It has become renowned for its intimate atmosphere and dedication to showcasing both established and emerging jazz artists, particularly those specializing in bebop, hard bop, and mainstream jazz styles. Throughout its history, Le Melville has hosted numerous internationally acclaimed musicians and remains a significant venue within the Parisian jazz scene. The space intentionally maintains a low-key aesthetic, prioritizing the musical experience over elaborate decor.
