May Jazz Lounge with The Adrien Chevalier Quartet

Hot Gypsy Jazz from the South of France! Two supper jazz lounge shows with The Adrien Chevalier Quartet 

Roost Restaurant is happy to invite you to the Jazz Lounge at Union Arts Center! Presented by Mz. Valentine, May’s Jazz Lounge will showcase The Adrien Chevalier Quartet, featuring violinist Adrien Chevalier, Vinny Raniolo on guitar, Hyuna Park on piano, and Julian Smith on bass.

Born in Provence, South of France, into a family of violinists, Adrien Chevalier began his musical education at the Avignon Classical Conservatory, where he studied for 12 years before moving to Paris: there he developed his passion for Gypsy jazz and Eastern European music. He created Pad Brapad, a musical ensemble specializing in Balkan folklore, with whom he performed all over Europe, participating in the most renowned Word Music festivals. Adrien Chevalier then settled down in the French capital and joined the Grüss Circus orchestra, while also studying at the CMDL jazz school with master violinist Didier Lockwood.

In 2011 he moved to New York City where he co-founded the Avalon Jazz Band. Adrien Chevalier continued his work as a film composer (Canal +, France 3…) and founded the Hot Club of New York with whom he performed at the New York Hot Jazz Festival in 2014. Adrien Chevalier often collaborates with renowned artists and tours regularly in Europe, South America and Asia.

In 2015, he created Aramis Entertainment, an agency specializing in authentic, acoustic music for private events, contributing to the New York trad and swing scene’s growth and prosperity.

Adrien is currently preparing his first solo album with compositions inspired by Gypsy Jazz, Swing and Eastern European folklore.
