"Quand le Jazz est là..." is a prestigious collectible case published on April 25, 2002. Curated by Daniel Desthomas, this large-format work takes its title from the famous lines of Claude Nougaro’s song Le Jazz et la Java to offer a true visual and historical journey into the world of Afro-American music. Inside there is an explanatory booklet that retraces the fundamental milestones of the genre, accompanied by 20 large independent historical photographs, printed specifically to be framed and exhibited. Among the shots stand out portraits of absolute legends such as Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, and Ella Fitzgerald, transforming the case into an object of worship for enthusiasts. Being out of print for many years now, the volume has become a rare and sought-after item, obtainable exclusively on the collectibles and second-hand market.
