Flash Pig to Enchant Paris with “The Mood for Love” Concert

The acclaimed French jazz quartet Flash Pig will perform their critically lauded concert, “The Mood for Love,” at the Café de la Danse in Paris on February 24, 2026. The performance is a musical reimagining of Wong Kar-wai’s iconic 2000 film, In the Mood for Love.

A Decade and a Half of Musical Innovation

Formed fifteen years ago although students at the Paris Conservatory, Flash Pig has evolved into one of France’s most celebrated jazz ensembles. The group is renowned for the almost telepathic interplay between brothers Adrien Sanchez (saxophone) and Maxime Sanchez (piano), alongside the talents of Florent Nisse on double bass and Gautier Garrigue on drums.

Award-Winning Album and Concert Experience

Flash Pig was named Best Group of the Year in 2022 by Jazz Magazine [1]. Their album, “The Mood For Love,” released in early 2024, received the prestigious Best Album award from the Académie du Jazz [1]. The concert version of “The Mood For Love” promises a captivating audio-visual experience, blending music, lighting, and set design to evoke the film’s sensual and pictorial atmosphere.

Immersive Thematic Performance

The performance aims to transport the audience into the world of Wong Kar-wai’s film, with interludes designed to resemble scenes from a 1960s Hong Kong jazz club [1].
