Fête de la Musique


2015-06-21: Jarvis celebrates Fête de la Musique — a day when anyone in France can play music in the street — with a sonic journey around Paris. He rifles through the racks of Parisian record stores, rummages in a vintage clothing shop, and passes un magasin de fruits et légumes. He also visits the Phonogalerie in Pigalle to view old gramophones and discuss all kinds of early playback machines with curator Jalal Aro. Plus, quotes from Jean-Paul Sartre, a jazz approach to International Yoga Day and Jane Russell tells a Hollywood version of Little Red Riding Hood. Birthdays: Jean-Paul Sartre, Lalo Schifrin, Michel Platini, Eumir Deodato, OC Smith, Jane Russell, Ray Davies, Ian McEwan, Françoise Sagan and Lana Del Rey.
