French Jazz is its own entity in many ways. American Jazz grabbed at African rhythms by way of the Caribbean and slaves, the French revisited real live Africa much later and because of that they have contributed to Jazz in a very big way. They also had a lot of the Gypsy guitar greats like Django Reinhardt. A lot of seminal American authors like Orwell, Miller and Hemingway really found their stride in France as well.
