Ragtime and jazz became further established as fashionable music in the Parisian cultural scene of the 1920s as a result of US troops landing in France in 1917. Over the next decade, a group of young people, between the ages of 18 and 20, created an association that became a surprisingly solid support, able to promote jazz in France through the organization of concerts, the creation of clubs outside the capital, the creation of the label Swing, and the publication of the magazine Jazz Hot as well as books about jazz. Through these initiatives, the Hot Club of France would quickly become the leading association to promote jazz in both North America and Europe. Links were created with North American jazz specialists like Helen Oakley and Marshall Stearns to found American Hot Clubs and the International Federation of Hot Clubs. The activities of the Hot Club of France influenced the projects of figures of American jazz history like John Hammond, Alfred Lion, and Francis Wolff.
