{"product_id":"french-music-and-jazz-in-deborah-mawer-9781316633878","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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deborah Mawer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 131663387X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781316633878\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.67d","brand":"Deborah Mawer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44064127222015,"sku":"9781316633878","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6800ec06-4180-43c4-acb7-b729b587f019.jpg?v=1685393683","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/french-music-and-jazz-in-deborah-mawer-9781316633878","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
