August 1921

Bonjour from Paris! Today school starts in Fontainbleau, Paris. I had my first lesson with Madame Nadia Boulanger. Words can not even describe how over joyed I am with the outcome. I played her one of my Jazz pieces I scribbled down two years ago for fun. She loved it! I'm starting to notice that Europeans regard jazz with the highest respect. I think this is the beginning of something great!
