France has a long history with jazz music. Jazz began to become significant in France starting in the 1920s. As with Brazil (see Brazilian jazz), the French were at first concerned it was too American of an influence before "making it their own." Although in the case of the French the adjustment proved faster as by the 1930s jazz had become acceptable. Between the 1930s and 1950s, the biguine, a style of jazz from the French Caribbean was popular among dance orchestras. Lacking recognition at home, several biguine artists from Martinique moved to mainland France, where they achieved greater popularity in Paris, especially in the wake of the colonial exhibition in 1931. Early stars like Alexandre Stellio and Sam Castandet became popular in Paris. An important event in that is the creation of the Quintette du Hot Club de France in 1934. This is among the most significant jazz groups in European history.() Starting in the late 1940s the Le Caveau de la Huchette would become an important place for French and American jazz musicians to work. Many American jazz artists have lived in France from Sidney Bechet to Archie Shepp. These Americans would have an influence on French jazz, but at the same time French jazz had its own inspirations as well. For example, Bal-musette had some influence on France's form of ''Gypsy jazz''. In a related vein violin, and to an extent guitar, were traditionally more popular in French jazz than American. Related to that Jean-Luc Ponty and Stéphane Grappelli are among the most well-respected violinists in the history of jazz. That stated the violin is also popular in Eastern European jazz. ==French jazz musicians== *Franck Amsallem *Josephine Baker *Lionel Belmondo *Michel Benita *Claude Bolling *Benoit Delbecq *David El Malek *Jef Gilson *Stéphane Grappelli *Olivier Hutman *Christian Jacob *Michel Legrand *Charles Lemaire *Didier Lockwood *Eddy Louiss *Jacques Loussier *Bernard Lubat *Pierre Michelot *Francois Moutin *Xavier Desandre Navarre *Vincent Peirani *Michel Petrucciani *Guillaume Perret *Jean-Michel Pilc *Jean-Luc Ponty *Julien Porret *Michel Portal *Django Reinhardt *Henri Renaud *Martial Solal *Scott Tixier *Erik Truffaz *René Urtreger *Maurice Vander *Christian Vander *Barney Wilen 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「French jazz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
