The only recognized form of Jazz that originated in France is Gypsy Swing. Here is a sample by the son of one the the guys who created it: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5nNJki6nsM[/ame] and here's his dad: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEzsPGHsi90&feature=fvw[/ame]

and what I call european blues is gypsy music. Both are the music of an oppressed/discriminated upon people. Few people realize that the gypsies were almost exterminated during WW2. They came much closer to it than the jews ever did. They are pretty much hated wherever they go and about as openly today as they were then. Yet there music is incredibly beautiful. And old as hell. It comes from India originally.

Watch "Gypsy Caravan", the most interesting documentary I have seen on their music and their very misunderstood culture. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqvLcmG8RU0&feature=related[/ame]

If you've heard of Gogol Bordello, the lead guy (whose name I can't think of right now) is a gypsy and their music sounds like it.

And I just realized that what you were talking about was probably the "Hot Club de France." They were a group of french jazz lovers but they didn't invent anything. Just made jazz popular there.

Hope you enjoyed that stuff.
 
I'd love to participate, but I have to leave to leave to play a gig in about 15 minutes. I will throw in some gypsy licks tonight in honor. :lol:
 
No idea who that is but I will be looking him up as soon as my music stops, :)

One of the great pleasure of those threads is discovering new stuff.

See you in the music thread.
 
****, Josh is here, lol.

Should we start a funky friday music thread?
Can I play? I just got back with a 1.75 of Jose, 750 of Stoli and a 375 of Meyers Dark (for cooking this weekend.... well).
 
Sure - see the my post a few posts up!
(Should be the last post on the previous page)
edit - OK, it's a few posts before that, but close enough.
