Jazz musicians who became expatriates

[ghost of miles]

Night Lights show on the topic, which also mentions a couple of books about jazz expatriates:

Paris Noir: African-American Jazz Musicians In France

The program also includes the Art Ensemble of Chicago, which I don't think has been mentioned yet in this thread.

I think any musician who moved to another country for longer than a year qualifies - no matter what direction he or she took.

 

Re- my earlier post, i was just referring to what the thread starter explicitly said ...

Would anybody care to look at "repatriate" as opposed to "expatriate"?

You mean those who did emigrate ("go expat") and returned home later on?

Red Mitchell (one who hasn't been named among the expats yet either, BTW).

Bobby Burgess

Rolf Ericson

Guess I'm looking for the wrong word...whatever it is where a person doesn't just move to another country, but actually becomes a citizen of it.

Besides the above mentioned I had forgotten to Mention Saxophonist Leo Wright. During the 60´s he was member of Dizzys Quintet and later settled in Europe, Germany, after that in Austria where he died. 

Yes, Leo Wright was definitely in these parts. Saw him playing with a local rhythm section at Club 43 in Manchester in about 1967.

[romualdo]

has anyone mentioned Nathan Davis?

Does Alan Broadbent still live in the US, or has he returned to New Zealand these days?

And what did big name Canadians like Oscar Peterson and Maynard Ferguson (or Diana Krall nowadays) do?  Did they hold joint Canadian & US citizenship?

[mikeweil]

Paul Bley!

[GA Russell]

I saw Donna Hightower in Madrid, though she may not rank with these others mentioned.

[Gheorghe]

Chet Baker has been mentioned ?

He lived so much in Europe, though I doubt he ever had a Steady home…. he traveled, but his main activity in the late 70´s and 80´s had become Europe.

Last I heard, Broadbent had moved from L.A. to NYC. 

That accounts for the title of this 2019 release:

So I guess Broadbent is still an expat -- unless he's become a U.S. citizen.

[duaneiac]

Thanks for that info, HutchFan.  I did not know Alan Broadbent had a new CD out.  Geez, the last one I have from him is his 'Round Midnight release from 2004!

Darius Brubeck lived in Durban, South Africa for many years and then moved to London.  Not sure if that's where he resides today.

Stephane Grappelli lived in England during the war and for several years post-war. Was his final home back in Paris, though?

Jean-Luc Ponty, perhaps?  He lived in the US for a while, but I think (not sure) he is living in France again now.

I thought he had moved to England years ago.

[BillF]

He has lived variously in England and Italy in recent years. I don't know where he's living now.
