Remember the Blue Note- Griffin was there many times with Art Taylor and Kenny Drew and once I saw Larry Ritchie on drums. He had bad toochache that night according to Griffin.
There was a similar scene in Denmark in the same period - primaly in Copenhagen. Jazz musicians like Ben Webster, Kenny Drew, Ed Thigpen, Horace Parlan, Duke Jordan, Thad Jones, Richard Boone (All buried and rests in Denmark). Among others also Bud Powel, Stan Getz, Shahib Shahab, Dexter Gordon, Ernie Wilkins, Richard Boone Buth Lacy, lived and is living here - Dexter Gordon 14 years in Denmark. Thats where Niels Henning Ørsted Pedersen realy learnt to play the double bass.
did all French cherish jazz, or was it more of a Parisian / metro phenomenon? just wondering how much of a generalization that statement might be. there were certainly epicenters in America where jazz was essential music.

Never forget Pierre Michelot was Kenny Clark's bassist in the Bud Powell's parisian trio.
