VA - Jazz Around The Krach 1929

From the linernotes:

"It is not without a certain sense of irony that Frémeaux & Associés, 80 years on, renders homage to the 1929 economic crisis that has its echoes in today’s international events. While 1929 saw the birth of Martin Luther King, Milan Kundera and Jacques Brel, each of whom influenced their era and achieved international acclaim, history and people themselves remember 1929 as the year of the Wall Street Crash and the beginning of the Depression.

Such a crisis that reoccurs regularly within capitalist societies is a revolutionary means of changing things, habits and culture etc. Neither are the artsimmune to these “readjustments” but had to adapt to the Depression: not only a need to make sense of it all but also to find financial backing, producers and, of course, listeners! Noël Hervé, Philippe Baudoin and Daniel Nevers return to 1929 in Jazz Around The Crash." - Patrick Frémeaux
