Why is it important?
This is the first publication that regards early jazz diplomacy as a transatlantic phenomenon rather than as an exclusively American cultural practice. It illuminates the beginnings of West German jazz diplomacy and provides a close analysis of the 1963 "Jazz -- Made in Germany" concert at the Salle Pleyel, Paris, and the Mangelsdorff-Quintett's subsequent tour through Asia.
