Abstract

In August 1958, during the Portuguese right-wing colonialist New State regime, after the foundation of the Clube Universitário de Jazz by Raul Calado — a Hot Clube de Portugal dissident —, a jazz journal began to circulate to disseminate this musical genre. This article examines the history of Jazz (1958-1959), and the political ideals conveyed through this first Portuguese jazz publication.
