In its focus on networks of musicians and supporting institutions in Europe, Jose Dias's book is a unique contribution to jazz studies. Using ethnographic methods and drawing on his own extensive connections forged as a musician and researcher, Dias touches some of the central themes of 'The European Project,' such as whether there exists a European cultural identity. At the same time, the book offers a skillful critique of received narratives that have tended to view jazz as an American import. Supported by engaged dialogue with interlocutors, it is a timely intervention into broadly relevant debates. * Frederick Moehn, Senior Lecturer of Music, King's College London, UK *
