Painful Reality Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Whatever it is I have the feeling it never made it big in Europe.... I'll add that to the list of reasons for why I am an europhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not that reason...sure, the arts are much better appreciated in the "old countries" ........but....... you don't go to Europe to hear the best Jazz, now do you?

Ever heard of Montreux or St-Germain-des-Prés? Heard of them?...of course, Europeans importing American jazz. Why pay to to see in Europe what you would have seen in Newport the year before.[8-|] Not trying to be argumentative...just saying that Jazz is the fundamental American art form...and if it's not being heard or popular in Europe...it doesn't mean very much. I'm glad Europeans appreciate it but they don't create it like here....I can name a few interesting old country jazz men...but they are certainly not main stream...such as Jan Gabarak and Jon Christensen....The Europeans have done much better by giving mainstream American jazzmen a stage when we wouldn't....ie, Dextor Gordon, Miles Davis, etc. But there is no equivalent of a European Ella, Getz, Byrd, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

European jazz was being created by Stéphane Grappelli, Django Reinhardt, and Louis Vola as the Quintette du Hot Club de France... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
