American Jazz in Paris
Friday, May 22, 1-3pm
European critics embraced jazz before anyone in the United States wrote anything complimentary about the music. The reasoning is wrapped up in the cultures of both France and the United States. Scott Cashman will discuss the cultural and historical implications of jazz in both the United States and France while listening to the music from the earliest period to the present as it has been played in the City of Light. Scott Cashman earned a Ph.D. in Anthropology by studying the economics of being a jazz musician in Paris.
