Grounded in the music known as the "blues," which expressed the pain, sufferings, and hopes of Black folk then pulverized by Jim Crow, this new music entered the world via the instruments that had been abandoned by departing military bands after the Civil War. This book examines the economic, social, and political forces that shaped this music into a phenomenal US - and Black American - contribution to global arts and culture. The author assembles a galvanic story depicting what may have been the era's most virulent economic - and racist - exploitation, as jazz musicians battled organized crime, the Ku Klux Klan, and other variously malignant forces dominating the nightclub scene where jazz became known. The author pays particular attention to women artists, such as pianist Mary Lou Williams and trombonist Melba Liston, and limns the contributions of musicians with Native American roots. 650 0 $a Jazz $x History. $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Jazz $x History. $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Music and race $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Jazz musicians $z United States $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Jazz musicians $z United States $x Economic conditions. 650 6 $a Musique et race $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire. 650 6 $a Musiciens de jazz $z EÌtats-Unis $x Conditions sociales. 650 6 $a Musiciens de jazz $z EÌtats-Unis $x Conditions eÌconomiques. 650 7 $a Jazz musicians $x Economic conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00982208 650 7 $a Jazz $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00982185 650 7 $a Music and race. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030486 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Horne, Gerald, author. $t Jazz and justice $d New York : Monthly Review Press, 2019 $z 9781583677872 $w (DLC) 2019017611 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724074455.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E2964EF8214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
