Opis

Remixing European Jazz Culture examines a jazz culture that emerged in the 1990s in cosmopolitan cities like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Berlin, London, and Oslo—energized by the introduction of studio technologies into the live performance space, which has since developed into internationally-recognized, eclectic, hybrid jazz styles.
