(Centre d'Information Musicale) in Paris. These educational experiences urged Patrice to create and write an extensive method of teaching. The ten-book series "The Modern Music", La Musique Moderne, retraces a century of music from blues to modern jazz. This work took ten years to complete. Martial Solal describes these works as a genuine encyclopedia of modern music. There is already an English translation and several other countries are particularly interested in this work. Patrice was also a collaborator in the Dictionnaire du Jazz de Robert Laffont.
