Paul Colin (1892-1985) - Les Billy Arnold’s Rois du Jazz, affiche du théâtre des Champs-Elysées 147, BnF, Bibliothèque-musée de l'Opéra

Jean Cocteau se vantait d’avoir “amené en France le premier jazz concertant. Je l’avais découvert, précise-t-il, à Londres, dans un dancing populaire à Hammersmith. Il portait le nom de Billy Arnold.”

Jean Cocteau qui se vantait, en outre, de bien jouer du jazz, notamment la batterie qu’il pratiquait en compagnie “du nègre Vance au saxophone et de Jean Wiéner au piano. Le jazz me grisait mieux que l’alcool que je supporte mal. Au jazz vingt bras vous poussent ; on est un dieu du bruit”.
