Description: The Jazz Age: Popular Music in the 1920's by Arnold Shaw Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description F. Scott Fitzgerald named it, Louis Armstrong launched it, Paul Whiteman and Fletcher Henderson orchestrated it, and now Arnold Shaw chronicles this fabulous era in his marvelously engrossing book, appropriately called The Jazz Age. Enriching his account with lively anecdotes and insidestories, he describes the astonishing outpouring of significant musical innovations that emerged during the "Roaring Twenties"—including blues, jazz, band music, torch ballads, operettas, and musicals—and sets them against the background of the Prohibition world of the Flapper and the Gangster.The Jazz Age offers an insider's view into the significant developments and personalities of the jazz age, including the maturation and Americanization of the Broadway musical theater, the explosion of the arts celebrated in the Harlem Renaissance, the rise of the Classic Blues Singers, andthe evolution of ragtime into stride piano. It also contains a bibliography, detailed discography, and listings of the songs of the twenties in Variety's "Golden 100" and of films featuring singers and songwriters of the era. Publisher Description 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. Arnold Shaws lively account embraces all the major personalities from instrumentalists to composers, and from singers to lyricists. The book includes a bibliography, a detailed discography, and lists of songs and films from the 1920s.
