{"product_id":"9781316189085","title":"French Music and Jazz in Conversation: From Debussy to Brubeck","description":"French concert music and jazz often enjoyed a special creative exchange across the period 1900–65. French modernist composers were particularly receptive to early African-American jazz during the interwar years, and American jazz musicians, especially those concerned with modal jazz in the 1950s and early 1960s, exhibited a distinct affinity with French musical impressionism. However, despite a general, if contested, interest in the cultural interplay of classical music and jazz, few writers have probed the specific French music-jazz relationship in depth. In this book, Deborah Mawer sets such musical interplay within its historical-cultural and critical-analytical contexts, offering a detailed yet accessible account of both French and American perspectives. Blending intertextuality with more precise borrowing techniques, Mawer presents case studies on the musical interactions of a wide range of composers and performers, including Debussy, Satie, Milhaud, Ravel, Jack Hylton, George Russell, Bill Evans and Dave Brubeck.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130735476976,"sku":"9781316189085","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781316189085_p0.jpg?v=1763706738","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781316189085","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
