My mother and I are going to paris on thh 11th. It will a first time visit for the both of us. We will be staying in teh Latin quarter and I have heard that there is a lot of good Jazz there. Does anyone have any good recommendations for a club or a lounge? It would be nice if there was someplace that we could both enjoy. I%26#39;m 19 and shes in her ealry 50s. Merci Beaucoup!!

Hello!
There is two main jazz clubs in this area, the Petit Journal and Petit journal Montparnasse. Plenty of others, tho, mainly in the Saint Germain des Pres area (rue Saint Benoit and rue Bonaparte for instance).
I personnaly prefer the petit journal montparnasse, where you can have a dinner while the jazz session starts (at around 10 pm).
The program is really good, a constant sense of quality is there. Any additional info on their website http://www.petitjournal-montparnasse.com/
It is far from the Quartier Latin, but note that the hotel Meridien Etoile on Porte Maillot has a *very* good jazz bar on the top of it, that%26#39;s where i discovered Joshua Redman and since then my life has changed : ))

Thanks so much for your reply! I will definitely check these places out!

Surprisingly, there isn%26#39;t a lot of good jazz in the 5th--Latin Quarter. Your best bet will be Le PETIT JOURNAL--SAINT MICHEL--71 Blvd. St. Michel--http://perso.wanadoo.fr/claude.philips/
Just across the Blvd. Saint Michel, in the 6th--Saint Germain des Pres is LE BILBOQUET (just around the block from Eglise Saint Germain des Pres)--13 rue Saint Benoit, 75006, Metro: Saint Germain des Pres--with usually good music...sadly the Alliance which used to be next door is gone)
There is also Le Caveau de la Huchette but any time I%26#39;ve stopped at this place the music hasn%26#39;t been at all good.
For the best music you will have to venture a bit father afield to:
PETIT JOURNAL MONTPARNASSE-- http://www.petitjournal-montparnasse.com/ (one of the best jazz clubs in the world)
Le DUC des LOMBARDS--42 rue des Lombards, 75001, Metro: Chatelet
Le SUNSET/SUNRISE--60 due des Lombards, 75001, Metro: Chatelet (always great music)
NEW MORNING-- 7 rue des Petttes Ecuries, 75010, Metro #4 Chateau d%26#39;Eau

I just got back from Paris and there are 3 great jazz clubs side by side; in fact one of them is actually called the Sun Side club and features a vocal jazz backed up by a 5 piece band fully in sync: guitar, bass, drums, piano and of course the voice.
She even did a %26#39;standard%26#39; for me: which is what I like: %26quot;I%26#39;ve Got You Under my Skin%26quot;.
The Latin jazz at the club next door was technically excellent, not just what I like. I also lost my Patriots hat there, so in case you see a gay Parisian with a navy wool Patriots hat, tell him %26quot;You%26#39;re Welcome%26quot;.
Of course, the first jazz club I ever went to in Paris is the one at the corner after you come up from the Chatelet Metro: %26quot;the Lombard%26quot; on the Rue de Lombard, but prices were way too high for my taste this time.
What do you know about %26quot;the New Morning%26quot;?
