EDITOR’S CHOICE: A HISTORY OF EUROPEAN JAZZ
SEPTEMBER 28 AT 21:00 CEST
Although some critics and historians tried segmenting American jazz based on geographic location (e.g. New Orleans or Chicago style, Kansas City jazz, East and West Coast jazz), to this day jazz represents the cultural product of the whole country, not the sum of its individual parts. However, cultural differences play a far more important role in Europe and its version of the genre: the jazz of Sweden, Norway, Poland, and France differ far more from each other than those of the different cities and regions of North America. The beautiful documentary ‘Play Your Own Thing: A Story of Jazz in Europe’ portrays those differences, airing on Stingray DJAZZ on Saturday, September 28 at 21:00 CEST.
