Making Jazz French: Music and Modern Life in Interwar Paris

Jeffrey Jackson’s richly researched narrative reveals how jazz became a defining element of French culture in the 1920s and ’30s, navigating tensions of identity, modernity, and race. As Library Journal notes, it is “a highly readable history of jazz in interwar Paris and a brilliant case study of French cosmopolitanism.”
