certains l'aiment chaud

This group is highly regarded in France. Certains L’Aiment Chaud, founded in 1983 by Kiki Desplat and Claude Jeantet, is still one of the few female jazz orchestras from the 1920s on the international scene.

In 1991, the Académie du Jazz awarded Certains L’Aiment Chaud the Sidney Bechet Prize, which recognises the best classical jazz musician or orchestra of the year. With a nod to Billy Wilder's film Some Like It Hot, proving that jazz was not just a man's world and bringing a particular sensitivity to it, was a challenge for the orchestra from the outset, before becoming a matter of course.

Certains L'Aiment Chaud draws its repertoire from the 1920s, a period of intense artistic activity: blues, rags and stomps mingle with the songs of the era.
