Paris has a very special relationship with Jazz. It was here, in the quartier of Saint Germain des Pres, after the Second World War, that Jazz music landed in the continent. Jazz not only stayed here, but over the years completely new styles have been created in these caveaus.
In any case, it's not going to be me who starts rambling about the history of Jazz in Europe, so I'll get to the point and introduce a couple of pictures taken las Sunday in the Parc Floral (the botanic garden), where the jazz festival is held during the months of June and July.
These are Mina Agossi and Curtis Stigers & his trio, all of them excellent artists, but my favourite band so far is definitely the one composed by Petra Magoni and Ferrucio Spinetti, that played on Saturday the 10th.
