Title: French music and jazz in conversation
Description: Explores the historical-cultural interactions between French concert music and American jazz across 1900-1965, from both perspectives.

"Orleans to New Orleans and back again ... The lure and influence of jazz upon composers of French modernist music was acknowledged by an article in The musical quarterly, published as early as 1935. Conversely, as Mervyn Cooke points out, the practice of jazz improvisers 'Jazzing-up classical music is as old as jazz itself,' while for musicians like Dave Brubeck, 'Jazz has always been a hybrid music.'"--Provided by publisher.
