  • French Stewardship of Jazz: the Case of France Musique and France Culture
    ABSTRACT Title: FRENCH STEWARDSHIP OF JAZZ: THE CASE OF FRANCE MUSIQUE AND FRANCE CULTURE Roscoe Seldon Suddarth, Master of Arts, 2008 Directed By: Richard G. King, Associate Professor, Musicology, School of Music The French treat jazz as “high art,” as their state radio stations France Musique and France Culture demonstrate. Jazz came to France in World War I with the US army, and became fashionable in the 1920s—treated as exotic African- American folklore. However, when France developed its own jazz players, notably Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, jazz became accepted as a universal art. Two well-born Frenchmen, Hugues Panassié and Charles Delaunay, embraced jazz and propagated it through the Hot Club de France. After World War II, several highly educated commentators insured that jazz was taken seriously. French radio jazz gradually acquired the support of the French government. This thesis describes the major jazz programs of France Musique and France Culture, particularly the daily programs of Alain Gerber and Arnaud Merlin, and demonstrates how these programs display connoisseurship, erudition, thoroughness, critical insight, and dedication. France takes its “stewardship” of jazz seriously. FRENCH STEWARDSHIP OF JAZZ: THE CASE OF FRANCE MUSIQUE AND FRANCE CULTURE By Roscoe Seldon Suddarth Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts 2008 Advisory Committee: Associate Professor Richard King, Musicology Division, Chair Professor Robert Gibson, Director of the School of Music Professor Christopher Vadala, Director, Jazz Studies Program © Copyright by Roscoe Seldon Suddarth 2008 Foreword This thesis is the result of many years of listening to the jazz broadcasts of France Musique, the French national classical music station, and, to a lesser extent, France Culture, the national station for literary, historical, and artistic programs.

  • Jazznights 23
    JazzNights 23 On Saturday, November 10, 2007, JazzNights is proud to present Jacky Terrasson, one of the premier pianists of our time. The event will take place at 8 p.m. at the home of Judy Brodsky and Michael Curtis (53 Clarke Court, Princeton). We are asking for a contribution of $45 per person. We will send out a response form, directions, and a return envelope to everyone who reserves a place (those of you who have already reserved early do not need to reserve again. You are already on our list and we will send you the response materials). You can email reservation requests to Mary at [email protected] (or by replying to this notice). ____________________________________________________________ Please note: If you reserve now but later find that you can't make it, please let us know. We often have a waitlist and can use the space, sometimes even at the last moment. We try to keep the costs as low as possible and "no-shows" inevitably raise the price to others in the future ____________________________________________________________ Mr. Terrasson is the winner of the 1993 Monk competition, a two-time Grammy nominee, and winner of numerous awards for his CDs - Prix Django Reinhardt, Best Jazz Album of the Year, two Django d'Or Awards, and more. The son of a French mother and an American father, Mr. Terrasson was born in Berlin in 1966. At the age of 11, he discovered his mother's collection of jazz records and was hooked. He went on to study at the Lycee Lamartine and the Berklee College of Music, and perhaps even more important, joined Betty Carter for a year immediately after winning the Monk competition.
