For Sartre, jazz music was a representation of freedom; this may have been in part because jazz was associated with African American culture, and was thus in opposition to Western culture generally, which Sartre considered hopelessly inauthentic.
Bagi Sartre, musik jazz adalah representasi kebebasan; hal ini mungkin karena jazz diasosiasikan dengan budaya Afrika Amerika, dan dengan demikian berlawanan dengan budaya Barat secara umum, yang menurut Sartre amat inotentik.
