Patricia Myers is a journalist and photographer who reviews jazz events and interviews musicians in the U.S. and Europe.Two other Paris jazz festivals sandwich this one: Jazz a la Villette in early September had the theme "Black Rebels for 12 days of ticketed events including concerts, films and discussions celebrating the Afro-American culture. Performers included Ornette Coleman, Archie Shepp, Mingus Dynasty, Charlie Haden and the Liberation Music Orchestra, Guru's Jazzmatazz and more, but my eagerly anticipated concert by Abbey Lincoln was cancelled. The smaller La Defense Jazz Festival on weekends in June and July featured mostly European musicians, plus David Murray and Madeleine Peyroux.
