About This Item
Oxford University Press, 1989. 1st Edition. . Hardcover. New/New. Brand new copy of first printing with full number line. 8vo 221 pages illustrated with black & white photographs. As considered here, the "meaning of jazz" is the way jazz symbolized the economic and social changes the United States underwent in the 1920s. For blacks, jazz was a cohesive cultural force influential in the development of the Harlem Renaissance; for whites, it was a catalyst for the loosening of residual Victorian constraints. Yet many blacks and whites feared the perceived moral relaxation that accompanied the performance and appreciation of jazz. Sociological rather than musical, this study advances its thesis through the accretion of quotations from social histories, interviews, and biographies, all properly cited in several hundred endnotes. 1st Printing 1st Printing 1st Printing
