Description
The word "jazz" encompasses modernity and primitive spontaneity, individualism and community, spirituality and sensuality, America and Africa. At the edge of all these worlds, the appearance of Jazz in France has contributed to an important part of the history of the country. The book of Denis-Constant Martin and Olivier Roueff recounts the story of the settlement of jazz in France, from its arrival to the various polemics it provoked. The authors successfully capture the mysterious, evocative power of this music and its impact on the evolutions of the French culture itself.
