Flash Pig to Transform Café de la Danse into a Cinematic Jazz Experience
Parisian jazz enthusiasts are in for a treat on February 24, 2026, as Flash Pig brings its critically acclaimed performance, “The Mood For Love,” to the Café de la Danse. This isn’t just a concert; it’s a meticulously crafted experience designed to transport audiences into the evocative world of Wong Kar-wai’s iconic film, In the Mood For Love.
A Band Forged in the French Conservatory
Formed nearly 15 years ago within the walls of the Paris Conservatory, Flash Pig has steadily risen to prominence as one of France’s most captivating musical ensembles. The quartet’s strength lies in the almost telepathic connection between brothers Adrien and Maxime Sanchez (saxophone and piano), complemented by the exceptional talents of Florent Nisse on double bass and Gautier Garrigue on drums.
From Jazz Magazine’s “Group of the Year” to Acclaimed Album
The band’s dedication to their craft hasn’t gone unnoticed. Flash Pig was honored as “Best Group of the Year” by Jazz Magazine in early 2023, a testament to their consistently outstanding performances. Their album, The Mood For Love, released in early 2024, further solidified their reputation, earning the prestigious “Best Album” award from the Académie du Jazz.
Reimagining a Cinematic Masterpiece
“The Mood For Love” is more than just a musical interpretation; it’s a re-imagining of Wong Kar-wai’s 2000 film. The concert is described as a “dreamlike musical and visual experience,” blending music, lighting, and set design to recreate the film’s sensual and pictorial atmosphere. Expect interludes between songs that place the musicians within a 1960s Hong Kong jazz club setting.
A Unique Concert Experience
