The French were among the first Jazz enthusiasts, producing the first exclusively Jazz record label, SWING, the first Jazz discography, and the first exclusively Jazz periodical, JAZZ HOT. The magazine is still published today and remains a staple Jazz publication. This issue from October 2002 features portraits of trumpeters Jon Faddis and Roy Hargrove. Jazz Hot includes interviews and articles that are still informative and fresh today. This issue is no exception.

NOTE: this issue of Jazz Hot is entirely in French.
