Julien Labro

Two-Part Series January 2023

Born in France, Julien was influenced by traditional folk music and the melodic, lyrical quality of the French chanson. Today, his playing, composing, and arranging have earned him international acclaim. Considered a virtuoso on the accordion, Julien and his ensemble bring us the very best of gypsy jazz. We are so pleased that Julien returns to Vail virtually with this two-part Jazz Interludes series.

She released a brand new album in December of 2022 and has been nominated for two Grammy awards, including Best New Artist! Now, she showcases her talent alongside guitar virtuoso Pasquale Grasso in this two-part Jazz Interludes series.
