Jazz in Europe : New Music in the Old Continent / Igor Wasserberger, Antonín Mtzner, Peter Motyčka. - Oxford ; Bern : Peter Lang, Music Centre Slovakia, 2018. - 510 strán. - ISBN 978-1-78874-318-1.

Jazz in Europe provides a detailed record of how «new» (American) music evolved on the «old» (European) continent. The «chroniclers» explore the history of jazz in individual European countries from a local perspective, with each author contributing a unique bird’s-eye view of their particular context. This comprehensive analysis of the origins and dissemination of jazz on the old continent, produced by an international team of distinguished writers, is the first of its kind. Although members of national jazz communities may not agree with all the views presented in the book, it will undoubtedly provoke lively debate and open up new avenues for research within European jazz scholarship.
