Swinging jazz, sizzling melodies and sheer glamour as the BBC Concert Orchestra raises a glass of champagne to jazz-age Paris – and gets ready to party like it’s 1929.

We love Paris in the springtime! Well, who doesn’t? – and tonight, on Friday Night is Music Night, Alexandra Palace becomes the Hot Club de France, with a toe-tapping, cocktail-sipping salute to the spirit of jazz, French style.

Alexandra Palace

Acclaimed clarinettist, saxophonist, composer and producer Giacomo Smith brings his new quartet Upstairs at Ronnie's for the London launch of Artfullee, a striking new album of original music - his first foray into the straight-ahead jazz quartet. Best known as the founder and bandleader of Kansas Smitty's, Smith has built an international reputation for his deep understanding of the jazz tradition and his ability to reimagine it through a contemporary lens.
