A rousing exploration of the blues and jazz music that formed much of American popular music culture, penned by the iconic Beat writer and critic
In this essential and impassioned text, LeRoi Jones traces the intertwined development of blues and jazz music with the history of its creators in 'White America'. As important and relevant as at its first publication in 1963, it shows how music and its people are inseparable - expressing and reflecting the other, surviving and adapting through oppression.
