Reviews

"""Engaging and interesting to read by a layperson, but also well researched, documented, and written for scholars in the history of jazz, American music, or music education."" — Phillip Hash, School of Music, Illinois State University ""As important as this period of jazz is, it continues to be understudied in a variety of ways. This manuscript is a good example of finding new ways to study this era without revisiting the same well-trod ground."" — Court Carney, Stephen F. Austin State University"
