| Six Videos By Joanne Burke in partnership with Julia Browne of Walking The Spirit Tours I watched this video "When African Americans Came To Paris" which is an amazing journey through history of the expression of Black culture which spread from Paris to the world. I am a jazz lover so the incredible story of the origins of Jazz Music in Paris and France were an unearthing of Jazz history. Even some jazz aficionados were unaware of this little known rich Jazz Heritage. Julia Browne of Walking The Spirit Tours "Black Paris & Beyond" commented that on a recent visit to Normandy, the locals thanked the Black tour group for their contribution of Jazz to France. They appreciate that African Americans brought Jazz music to France and they have not forgotten it. The history of the African American experience in Paris is a historical journey that is must be shared by everyone. I encourage you to give this DVD to friends and family. |
