Mike Zwerin, author of The Parisian Jazz Chronicles, published in 2005, and a first-rate critic for such publications as The Village Voice and The International Herald Tribune, died April 2 in Paris at age 79.
Jazz journalist Howard Mandel writes, “Zwerin typically brought a light but penetrating touch to portraits, interviews and reviews he penned as a journalist covering mostly American vernacular artists but really whoever he was sent to hear (except what he called “serious music”) from his enviable post in the most sophisticated of European capitals.”
