Step into the romantic heart of Paris—without ever leaving New York—as Margot Sergent graces the stage at Rosevale Cocktail Room for a spellbinding evening of Jazz Chanson. With her quintet at her side and her voice shimmering with emotion, Margot invites audiences on an intimate journey through the golden age of French song, elegantly reimagined through the lens of contemporary jazz.
Hailed as one of the most enchanting interpreters of French chanson working today, Margot Sergent possesses a rare ability to merge the cabaret training with the raw, improvisational soul of jazz. Her performances are not merely concerts—they are deeply personal storytelling experiences, where every note is infused with the nuanced emotions of love, loss, joy, and longing. Drawing comparisons to iconic figures like Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, and Billie Holiday, Margot delivers timeless material with a fresh, modern sensibility that speaks to the heart of today’s listener.
Accompanied by a stellar ensemble of New York jazz musicians, Margot’s repertoire includes beloved standards by Charles Trenet, Serge Gainsbourg, Michel Legrand, and Barbara, as well as original compositions that pay homage to the French chanson tradition while embracing a forward-thinking jazz aesthetic. Each arrangement is carefully crafted, blending lyrical sensitivity with inventive harmonic textures and rhythms that reflect her deep understanding of both genres.
