Summary

So French Cabaret is  a unique jazz ensemble (featuring the harp) which promotes French and American songs of the 1930’s - 1940’s. Based on a traditional gypsy jazz ensemble, So French Cabaret’s rhythm section features a bass player and a guitarist, with the centerpiece of the band being a full-sized harp, which adds a fairy “je ne sais quoi” to the irresistible hot jazz groove. So French Cabaret invites you to take a musical journey, and hear the magical connection between French and American jazz music and experience the romance and excitement of the prohibition era.

Margot’s live performances convey a physical delight in playing music as well as an artist's sensitivity to the complicated harmonies and rhythms of jazz; her harp is a perfect instrument, attached to a musician of superb instincts, capable of expressing profound human experiences, with a wholly original voice. Margot's technique and interpretative skills are at the pinnacle of the musical industry; what she does is pure poetry. No doubt she is one of the most captivating artists of her generation." - Archie Shepp, legendary jazz saxophonist
