'The Parisian Chronicals' offers an engaging personal account of the jazz scene in Paris in the 1980's and 1990's. Zwerin writes about figures he knew and interviewed such as Dexter Gordon, Freddy Heineken, Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, Chet Baker, Wayne Shorter and Melvin Van Peebles.
Against this background, Zwerin tells about his own life-Split allegiances to journalism and music, and to America and France, his battle for sobriety, a failing marriage and fatherhood.
