  Between the world wars, Paris welcomed not only a number of glamorous American expatriates including Jospehine Baker and F Scott Fitzgerald, but also a dynamic musical style emerging in the United States: jazz. This title examines how and why jazz became so widely performed in Paris in the 1920s and 1930s and also why it was so controversial.
