Don’t read any further if you believe that good jazz shouldn’t involve laughter!
Still here? Then you will probably love the “Red Beans”. “Les Haricots Rouges” are as famous in their homeland France as pop stars and are seen as opponents of gloom and the lost property office of joy. They don’t shy away from performing at renowned jazz festivals across Europe as well as in Karl Moik’s Eurovision spectacle "Musikantenstadl". Curiously, they are cheered by laughing people at both. This might be because they have been honing both their musical perfection and their charming stage show for around 50 years.
How to describe this? In the old cupboard, we find the drawers for it: improvisational jazz that draws its root water from Louisiana. Plus, cabaret-worthy interludes in the style of the best Parisian revues. And swinging chanson melancholy. And if we let all this wash over us, we may become fans of the band, like Louis Armstrong, Jean-Paul Belmondo, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones... what, you have made it this far?? Great! You can read on now.
Melodies from New Orleans, rhythms from the Caribbean, and a touch of Parisian revue, that is the "Red Beans", France's most popular jazz group. Their brilliant mix of Creole hot jazz, Latin American music, and swinging chansons is packaged with cabaret gags in a charmingly fun show.
From Louis Armstrong to Charles Aznavour: this is the range of musicians, singers, and humorists from LES HARICOTS ROUGES. They play and sing jazz from New Orleans and swinging chansons from their homeland, spiced with many musical gags and cabaret interludes. A music revue and a jazz concert at the same time, as sparkling as champagne and as hearty as camembert.
The press writes: “Red Beans offered a furious jazz show. Refreshingly cheeky, cabaret-like, and gallant: Les Haricots Rouges” (Westfälische Nachrichten)
