Abstract
The article examines the production, diffusion and reception of jazz in Greece in the interwar era. By examining various press articles, radio programmes and theatre booklets, it reveals unknown aspects of its history and brings into light forgotten sources of the past. It analyses issues of categorization, namely ‘modern’ and ‘popular’ music, the role of Greek theatrical composers, different musical circulations from France and Germany, as well as triangulation effects passing through Italy and Turkey. A certain attention is attributed to the term jazz and its meaning in interwar Greece and some interpretation of its relative oblivion is attempted.
