Joyeux Urbains

About

French group Joyeux Urbains combines the possible quirks of pop with contemporary jazz. Humor is definitely at the forefront of Joyeux Urbains's music, a nuance that takes on a particular draw for the group's work, as so many musicians working at the intersection of jazz, classical and rock tend towards self-importance and the display of technical mastery. The group tours frequently in and around France and Europe, generally playing cafe performances that lend themselves to the group's personality and comedy.
