Abstract
The intense reception that Don Quixote has had in French music is a well-known, well-documented and well-researched phenomenon. However, criticism has focused pri-marily on classical music and opera; few studies have been devoted to pop music, rock or folk, and none has so far dealt with the traces that the Cervantine novel has left in French jazz. In this paper we document, analyse and compare twenty examples of French jazz compositions that are inspired by the masterpiece of Cervantes, taking into account aspects such as its reception in jazz from other countries, or the interesting presence of the myth of Don Quixote in French jazz of the 21st century.
