“50 YEARS OF JAZZ IN LORRAINE”A retrospective of Jazz from 1955 to 1998
3 CD, 146 musicians, 33 titles, 22 bands, 36 pages of texts and documents!
(a "premiere" in France!)
Thirty three sound illustrations of jazz history as lived in a French region which traditionally is an immigration land.
The various styles that have made the richness of jazz on both sides of the Atlantic: New Orleans, Gospel, Swing, Bebop, Free Jazz, Fusion, Rythm’n Blues, Blues Rock are following, answering, competing and mixed with each other, by bands going from duos to big-bands in predominantly “live” records, in which nostalgia is fighting with the heat of improvisation.
The 3 CDs gathering the 33 titles together are accompanied by a 36 pages booklet commenting each work and situating it in its time.
