The increased circulation of people and ideas within Europe is not
matched by an awareness of a shared history among its jazz
community. In the course of almost a century, European jazz
musicians not only produced a corpus of work worthy of much wider
appreciation, but also adopted strategies to deal with a variety of
situations, ranging from outright prohibition to survival in the
market and institutions. This volume provides an organic overview
of European jazz history in order to serve as an inspiration for
new generations of listeners and musicians independently of current
marketing hype. It covers the linear narrative of jazz history in
Europe from its inception to the year 2000 presented on a
geographical basis country by country. Each article is authored by
a jazz history specialist from the specific country contextualizing
the music in the cultural landscape of that country, discussing the
most influential figures of its development, and referencing the
sometimes considerable literature available in the national
language. An unprecedented pool of authors makes much of this
information available in English for the first time. Further
chapters cover related subjects like popular music in Europe, the
history of African-American entertainers before jazz,
cross-national traditions like Gypsy and Jewish music, festivals,
film and avant-garde music. The book also draws on the newly
available resources created by the extensive work being done
nationally by various jazz archives; chapters are supplemented by
suggested listening lists and bibliographies.
