Jazz jam night, Kraspek Myzik, Lyon

Kraspek Myzik

On Wednesday evening the Kraspek Myzik venue on the slopes of Lyon’s 1st arrondissement hosts the first edition of a new jam night run by the musician Lazzman. The listing promises a jam focused on modern jazz with plenty of effects, with full effects in the manner of J Dilla and Terrace Martin, and above all a lot of improvisation. Musicians of the house are ready to accompany visitors who would like to join in with their own talent, so you can play or simply listen. Doors open at 20:00. Entry is free, though the organisers ask for a two-euro membership of the association that runs the venue, which is why we list the price as two euros. The language is French. The listing runs until about 23:00, and a jam night is an easy evening out alone. «LA JAMALAZZ | MER. 04.11» Starts 20:00, ends about 23:00. Source: OpenAgenda — Shotgun (open data).

A drum kit and two guitar amplifiers are provided, and you can bring your own sticks and jack cables. Sign-up happens on the spot. Entry is free, but the venue asks for a two-euro membership of the association Lerockepamort, which is why the price is shown as €2.00. Doors open at 20:00 and we assume the night ends about 23:00.

Kraspek Myzik

On Friday 20 November 2026 the Kraspek Myzik, a small concert venue on the Croix-Rousse slopes in Lyon, presents a double bill of Majora and Allo Daphné. Majora is two nostalgic fans of the 1980s exploring what they call sunny melancholy, with old synthesisers, vocal harmonies, groovy bass, electronic sequences and hazy guitars. Allo Daphné brings French nu-disco pop, a retro sound with romantic melancholy inspired by the 80s and 90s and by the groove of Shalamar and Chaka Khan. Doors open at 20:00 and the concerts start at 20:30. Tickets are listed at 6, 9, 11 or 16.50 euros, plus 2 euros for membership of the association Lerockepamort, and the lowest price is used here.

Bar BU

On Wednesday 25 November 2026 the Bar BU on the Quai Bondy in Lyon hosts the Ariane Quintet as part of the Culture Bar-Bars festival.
