Released on the occasion of the Nice Jazz Festival, this book is the account of an immense musical adventure, led by three passionate authors.
Collectors, professional photographers, and enthusiasts have entrusted their precious archives to revive hundreds of hours of concerts and bear witness to the unique atmosphere of this festival. A festival whose greatest merit, it cannot be said enough, is its ability over the years to propose, innovate, blend, reveal, gather, delight, and enchant entire generations.
“Going to jazz” has long been a tradition for the people of Nice, an unmissable meeting of friendship because people come here to loudly and proudly declare that music is a space of freedom where every genre, every movement has its place.
And it is this wildly joyful mix of rhythms and colors, of sounds and intoxication that this book aims to faithfully echo.
