Title: Côte à côte : coast to coast: art and jazz in France and California recordings, photographs, and ephemera, 2007 Nov. 13-15.

Planned in association with the Orange County Museum of Art's exhibition "Birth of the cool" (October 7, 2007-January 6, 2008), this two-day conference examined the intersection of jazz music with postwar art and culture. Day one focused on "Call and response: the development of jazz cultures," and explored the innovations and constraints that characterized the development of jazz cultures. On the second day, "Making the scene: the spaces and places of jazz," presenters considered where jazz was created and how these spaces were affected by changing social environments. Day two also included a performance of selections from George Herms' free jazz opera, "Fifty years of sitting in the front row at a jazz club, or the artist's life: a salute to West Coast jazz." Featuring numerous speakers and performers, the conference integrated live performance, conversations with artists and musicians, film screenings, and presentations of scholarly research. The conference was followed by a jazz concert featuring musicians from the West Coast and France, playing new arrangements of well-known favorites and fresh interpretations of jazz classics. The video recordings, photographs, and ephemera document the conference and the concert.
