Claude Abadie (16 January 1920 – 29 March 2020) was a French jazz clarinetist and bandleader.
Abadie was born in January 1920 in
Chicago jazz from an early age, and formed his own ensemble in 1941 to play in a Dixieland-revival style; Boris Vian played in the group from 1943. Soon after, his ensemble included Claude Luter, Jef Gilson, Raymond Fol, and Hubert Fol. He founded a new ensemble in 1949, which included Jean-Claude Fohrenbach and Benny Vasseur, but quit music in 1952, not returning to performance until 1963. In 1965, he formed a large ensemble to play contemporary jazz.[citation needed

He turned 100 in January 2020[1] and died two months later.[2]
