Finally, the presentation casts light on how the transition from playing \u201ccoffeehouse music\u201d to bebop became a significant element in the assimilation strategies of Romani musicians, and on how playing jazz continues to function as means to express cultural difference. By combining Pierre Bourdieu\u2019s cultural sociology with popular music studies and postcolonial scholarship, I seek to demonstrate the manifold connections of this particular jazz scene to the global networks of cultural production that also continue to shape it.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c1d\u00e1m Havas is a sociologist and jazz researcher based in Budapest, Hungary.
