"Not bad, the view from our office today." From a boat-club moored at the Port de la Conférence beneath the Pont de l'Alma, Elements Jazz turned the Seine into a Sunday ritual across 2017 and 2018. The core quartet — Arnaud Quercy on piano, Elliot Langlois on double bass, Jeremy Quentin on guitar and Romain Courty on drums — opened with a latin-jazz set and slid into groove, swinging the brunch crowd until a whole party was dancing on deck.

It was a true riverside residency: fourteen documented Sunday dates, sun on the water, and a relaxed run through soul and bop standards like Bobby Hebb's "Sunny." On select afternoons bassist Eric Delblond sat in with the trio aboard Monsieur Mouche, keeping the room warm in the 8th arrondissement light.
