SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Improvisations: Adam Shatz and Jake Lamar on Jazz
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Throughout the 20th century\, Paris became a favored destination for Black American musicians\, offering an alternative to the racial discrimination faced at home and a more welcoming environment to experiment artistically.
