Josephine Portrait

La cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris est, depuis ses origines, une source d'inspiration pour beaucoup d'hommes et de femmes, qu'ils soient peintres, écrivains, pèlerins ou simples curieux. Croyants ou non, aucun d'entre eux n'est insensible à sa force symbolique, à ses élans poétiques et esthétiques, à son appel à la transcendance.

Spirited and lively, Queen Victoria's Mysterious Daughter is richly packed with arguments, intrigues, scandals, and secrets, and is a vivid portrait of a princess desperate to escape her inheritance.

“The music – jazz – whose history will be traced here, has often been given up for dead, but a simple observation of the current musical landscape shows that this is not the case. Jazz is very much alive and well, played in clubs, concert halls, and festivals, and every day sees dozens of recordings produced all over the world. While its audience is limited, it is nevertheless regularly renewed. Jazz teaching is flourishing in conservatories, specialized schools, as part of workshops and other master classes. But even more, the word “jazz” is very present and circulating, which is probably the most remarkable indication of the reality of this music, since it is referred to and spoken of.” Laurent CUGNY
