Côte à Côte explores the intersection of jazz music with postwar art and culture. Moving beyond the investigation of traditional jazz histories, the conference focuses on the development of West Coast jazz and France’s unique jazz culture. Côte à Côte includes scholarly presentations as well as film screenings, conversations with artists and musicians, poetry readings, and performances, and culminates on November 15 in a concert with West Coast and French musicians playing well-known jazz favorites and new interpretations of jazz classics. Côte à Côte is organized by the Contemporary Programs and Research Department at the Getty Research Institute. All events take place at the Getty Center in Los Angeles, California.
