Résumé anglais All things considered, one may claim that, during the 1920s and 1930s, La Revue musicale, a serious (and very Parisian) musical publication became aware of the importance of jazz for the French musical elite (made up of connoisseurs, critics and musicians). Well-known professional musical critics —Henry Prunières, André Cœuroy, Arthur Hoerée, Hugues Panassié and others — expressed the view that jazz was indeed a new combination of music, rhythm and life, but they eventually failed in their effort to understand it because of certain cultural barriers : jazz and Negro cultural values, jazz and improvisation.
