Other Jazz and Swing Sites
Hot Club de France

-

"This site is dedicated to traditional jazz and is all in French.  (No real need to speak French to understand).  Some sections are still under construction.   It has a forum, where people may post a message, for example announcing a concert, debating on a specific subject, or posting documentation.  Under the book section, it displays a lot of jazz books covers, with a small description of the contents of that book.  In the recordings sections, it displays a large number of CD covers, 33rpm LPs, CD-ROMs, etc.  However, this section is at the moment rather heavy and we are planning a spring-cleaning operation.  Also, there is a photo gallery with quite a few photographs of current musicians, mainly French. We are still adding and updating this site.  You are invited to come and visit us.  So long."   Alain Hautrive, co-webmaster of the website of the Hot-Club de France
