"Why Jazz Happened" is the first comprehensive social history of jazz. It provides an intimate and compelling look at the many forces that shaped this most American of art forms and the many influences that gave rise to jazzs post-war styles. Rich with the voices of musicians, producers, promoters, and others on the scene during the decades following World War II, this book views jazzs evolution through the prism of technological advances, social transformations, changes in the law, economic trends, and much more.
