History of European Jazz - Focus
Scholar Francesco Martinelli has been the coordinator of an international research team as well of the curator of the book History of European Jazz.

After over a decade of work, Martinelli is finally presenting his first volume on the century-old history of European jazz. History of European Jazz was first published in the U.K. by Equinox and presented in Lisbon during the 2018 European Jazz Conference, promoted by the Europe Jazz Network.

The book projects Europe beyond its political borders to include musical scenes that are culturally European or close to the old continent.
