Jazz Advent Calendar 2025: Day 9 - Afternoon in Paris 🇫🇷

Welcome to Day 9 of the 2025 Jazz Advent Calendar. Today, we are traveling mentally to Europe with John Lewis’s sophisticated standard, "Afternoon in Paris." It’s a tune known for its elegance and structure. However, we cannot speak of international cities and culture without addressing the destruction of culture and life happening right now. I am dedicating this video to the ongoing work of the Hind Rajab Foundation. This foundation is taking a stand against erasure. They are working meticulously to document and prosecute the crimes committed by Israel in Palestine. Their goal is to ensure that the international legal system serves the victims, rather than protecting the perpetrators. If you value this music, please value the lives we are advocating for by donating to their legal fund. 🔗 Support the cause here: https://www.hindrajabfoundation.org/donate See you tomorrow for Day 10.
