 In Press from William A. Shack
This quarter on Paris' Right Bank would be central to the study of African American musicians and entertainers who, after World War I, shaped the Harlem-style culture in Paris, about which I would write forty years later.
Harlem in Montmartre, the Paris jazz scene this study encapsulates, no longer exists; it is a casualty of the German occupation of the City of Light, from 1940 to 1 944.
Because of their sheer numbers on the Montmartre scene, fl American musicians were most affected by the law to regulate their numbers in resident bands.

Perched on a 500-foot butte, the Montmartre quarter of Paris, with its windmills, empty fields, and quaint cobblestone streets through which herds of animals were driven, still seemed like a village in the late 19th century.
By contrast, Maurice Utrillo, a hopeless alcoholic, depicted a Montmartre of dreary urban landscapes with fly-specked walls and leprous streets confined by endless rows of iron railings.
A modern Blue Guide for tourists warns that it is “now the focus of the seedy nightlife of an increasingly sordid area, where colorful and motley crowds congregate in the cafés and around the so-called ‘cabarets artistiques,’” whose denizens are not favored by a latter-day Lautrec.
