Articoli correlati a The Jazz Age: Popular Music in the 1920s
It all happened in America in the 1920s: blues, jazz, band music, torch ballards, operettas, and musicals. Louis Armstrong, Bix Beiderbecke, and Duke Ellington, Kern, Gershwin, Berlin, and Porter, all burst on to the musical scene in this decade. Harlem celebrated its own artistic and musical renaissance, while the world of prohibition, extravagant parties, and speakeasies produced timeless tunes such as `Stardust' and `Tea for Two'. Christened by F. Scott Fitzgerald and declared `open' by Louis Armstrong, the Jazz Age saw the flowering of the most prolific musical talents of this century.

Recensione:
Arnold Shaw, winner of three ASCAP-Deems Taylor Awards, and author of such books asHonkers and Shouters, The Dictionary of Pop/Rock, Black Popular Music in America, andFifty-Second Street, and biographies of Sinatra and Belafonte, is Director of the Popular Music Research Center at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Arnold Shaw has produced an interesting history of the music of the twenties, relating it strongly to the social and political influences of the decade. Agreeably anecdotal, the whole making up a rich kaleidoscope which will be of use to researchers as well as to the general reader (Stage and Television - November 1988)
Shaw's research also yields an attractive breadth of biography and social history. He sketches all sorts of luminaries of the time, producing a rich harvest of anecdote along the way. (Country Life)
lively account of the Roaring 20s in America (Publishing News)

eminently readable essays ... At #5.95 Lee's book is a snip. (New Musical Express)
