Reviews

Lively and revealing, * Wall Street Journal * A thoughtful and in-depth look at the substance of many foundational cases in the history of entertainment history. * Bowery Boys Podcast * Reflective, detailed examples of Burkan's impact on music and film. This is the only detailed examination of this subject, and it will be important for those interested in entertainment law and popular culture. * CHOICE * A captivating look at an American original. . . . Rosen's a good writer with a fun story to tell, and his enthusiasm makes Jazz Age Lawyer a delightful read. He loves these characters. * Splice Today * Lively new biography. . . . Much of Burkan's work has lasted right up to the modern era and the digital challenges that have upended the music business. Burkan's legacy of protecting and encouraging ongoing creative output, according to Rosen, helps assure that art continues to reflect the time in which it is made. * Media Industries * A rich and detailed history of an important moment in the development of American popular culture through a legal lens. * Journal of Popular Music Studies *


Lively and revealing, * Wall Street Journal *
