Margot Sergent, the featured vocalist of So French Cabaret, is already mentioned as one of the most captivating artists of her generation.

“Margot’s live performances convey a physical delight in playing music as well as an artist’s sensitivity to the complicated harmonies and rhythms of jazz; her harp is a perfect instrument, attached to a musician of superb instincts, capable of expressing profound human experiences with a wholly original voice” – Archie Shepp, legendary jazz saxophonist

“Margot Varret’s technique and interpretative skills are at the pinnacle of the music industry; what she does is pure poetry.” – Kirk Lightsey, jazz pianist

“Margot’s charismatic presence and amazing musicality never fails to genuinely touch her audience whenever she performs; she is an “impressionistic” artist who can turn popular tunes into art.” – Pierre Boussaguet, bassist for award-winning jazz pianist and film composer Michel Legrand
