Every Sunday and Monday, la Rhumerie brings you together for a jazz evening that revives the tradition of St Germain des prés during the fifties, and offers a selection of rums and West Indian cuisine (surcharge + € 1 per order on concert days).Lucie Guillem & Band offers a vibrant tribute to George Gershwin, revisiting his great standards as well as lesser-known gems from his repertoire, often written in collaboration with his lyricist brother, Ira Gershwin.
