Jazz Hot

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jazz Hot ( La revue internationale de la musique de Jazz ) is a French jazz magazine founded in 1935 by Charles Delaunay in association with Hugues Panassié . It is therefore one of the oldest jazz magazines in the world that is still published today. From the very beginning, the magazine also published articles by foreign jazz critics. Between 1935 and 1939, 32 bilingual issues in French and English were published. It was not published during the Second World War, but only again after 1945. Today the magazine is published annually, until 2007 it was published monthly.

At the time it was founded, Jazz Hot was associated with the Hot Club de France , of which Panassié and Delaunay were among the leading figures. During a heated dispute in 1946 over the bebop , which split the club, the separation from the hot club was completed. As a result, the Bulletin de Hot Club de France (published by Panassié) became the new mouthpiece of the Hot Club de France and Delaunay, director of Jazz Hot magazine, was ousted from the Hot Club. Delaunay also supported his magazine financially until 1980.

Well-known jazz lovers who shaped the magazine were: Hugues Panassié (publisher 1935 to 1946), André Hodeir (publisher 1947 to 1950), Boris Vian (temporarily editor), Frank Ténot (temporarily editor), Lucien Malson , Laurent Goddet and aus abroad Stanley Dance (as early as 1935), Leonard Feather , Ira Gitler (editor since 2012), John Hammond and others.

The editor-in-chief is currently (2015) Yves Sportis.
