French Chansons 

The Sparrows of Paris is a jazz trio headed by Parisian singer Carolyn Saint-Pé with accordion and double bass bringing you back to Paris of the 1930s and 40s with a repertoire of vintage French chansons and authentic jazz-musette.

The Sparrows of Paris - Our Story

The Sparrows of Paris got together in 2011 after Parisian singer Carolyn Saint-Pé was asked to sing La Java Bleue, a vintage java, in a short film. Carolyn discovered that she could indeed sing this type of music and decided to set up her own band. Since then, The Sparrows of Paris have performed in the UK, France and Belgium both in festivals and fêtes, restaurants, cinemas, private and corporate parties, exhibitions and art exhibition openings playing as a quartet, trio and duo.
