Description
Jazz's development was shaped by numerous forces, including technological advances and social transformations. This comprehensive history explores how these factors influenced the music's evolution, from the post-war period onwards. The book delves into the various events and trends that affected jazz, such as changes in radio and concert-promotion, the introduction of new record formats, and significant social movements like the Civil Rights movement. It also examines the impact of broader cultural shifts on the music's texture and complexity. By examining these developments outside of jazz itself, this book provides a deeper understanding of the music's growth and development over time.
