Jazz Hot is an influential French quarterly jazz magazine published in Marseille, in the South of France on the Mediterranean coast. It was founded March 1935 in Paris.
Jazz Hot is acclaimed for having innovated scholarly jazz criticism before and after World War II — jazz criticism that was also distinguished with literary merit, and in some articles, pre-1968, with leftist political views. Several of its early contributors are credited for helping intellectualize jazz journalism and, in turn, helping jazz gain serious attention, particularly from fine arts establishments and institutions.Jazz Hot has played an integral role integrating jazz into a French national identity.
From inception of the First and Second Series, until November 2007, Jazz Hot was published monthly, but irregularly, typically combining months in the summers and sometimes the winters. Beginning with Issue N° 649, Fall 2009, Jazz Hot, has been published quarterly, regularly.
The pre-war series — March 1935, Issue N° 1 to July–August 1939, Issue N° 32 — is referred to as the "First Series" or the "Original Series" or the "Pre-War Series." The First Series was bilingual, in French and selectively in English.
The Post-war series, beginning with Issue N° 1 in October 1945, was initially referred to as the "Second Series" or the "New Series" or the "Post-World War II Series." The Second Series was and still is in French only.
Although the American jazz magazine Down Beat was founded four months before Jazz Hot, it was not exclusively a jazz magazine at the time. Ergo, Jazz Hot holds the distinction of being the oldest existing magazine in the world devoted exclusively to jazz. But the distinction has two caveats.
Jazz Hot was first published March 1935 in Paris on one page in the back of a program for a Coleman Hawkins concert at the Salle Pleyel on February 21, 1935. At its inception, Jazz Hot was the official magazine of the Hot Club of France, an organization founded January 1934 by Panassié as President and Pierre Nourry as Secretary General. In August 1938, the club was dissolved and reestablished with Panassié as President and Delaunay as Secretary General. The club was primarily interested in Dixieland recordings, revival of Dixieland — which had lost popularity due to the swing craze of the 1930s — record listening sessions, and camaraderie among like-mined enthusiasts. Panassié and Delaunay were the founders of the Jazz Hot.
