SUN 4/7 : Bennett-Kuroda meets Jean-paul Richard

at Grand Arbre restaurant, Setagaya, Tokyo
open 18:00 - start 19:00 - Entry: PASS THE HAT!

Bennett-Kuroda will be joined by guitarist Jean-paul Richard for a special trio excursion at the Grand Arbre, a casual style French restaurant located right next to Shoin-jinja-mae station on the Tokyu Setagaya line, just 4 stops from where the line originates at Setagaya Station. Grand Arbre is a wonderful place, I always enjoy playing there: the atmosphere is great, the food divine. As many of you know, Jean-paul is the musical curator of the regular music series there, and this time around he'll be bringing nhis wonderful bluesy stylings into the Bennett-Kuroda musical universe. We're delighted to have him joining us for the evening, and we'll be delighted to have YOU there to listen, and to enjoy the fine food, drink and conviviality!
