It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Great Story

Nuggets such as that are really great.

I believe that in the 1920's, the center of music creativity shifted from Vienna to Paris, with some competition from Berlin. Paris was swarming with Russian and eastern European musicians and composers who'd escaped the Russian revolution. Prokofiev and Stravinsky were there.

Additionally, Paris based musicians were a magnet for training the new generation of composers from around the world, particularly from the USA. Nadia Boulanger and others thought so many young Americans who went on to be a creative force in shaping 20th cent music.

Jazz had apparently'd become the rage in France, and it permeated artist's creativity.
