French concert music and jazz often enjoyed a special creative
exchange across the period 1900-65. French modernist composers were
particularly receptive to early African-American jazz during the
interwar years, and American jazz musicians, especially those
concerned with modal jazz in the 1950s and early 1960s, exhibited a
distinct affinity with French musical impressionism. However,
despite a general, if contested, interest in the cultural interplay
of classical music and jazz, few writers have probed the specific
French music-jazz relationship in depth. In this book, Deborah
Mawer sets such musical interplay within its historical-cultural
and critical-analytical contexts, offering a detailed yet
accessible account of both French and American perspectives.
Blending intertextuality with more precise borrowing techniques,
Mawer presents case studies on the musical interactions of a wide
range of composers and performers, including Debussy, Satie,
Milhaud, Ravel, Jack Hylton, George Russell, Bill Evans and Dave
Brubeck.
