Pearl Harbor jazz

"This book is a study of a crucial period in the life of American jazz and popular music. Pearl Harbor Jazz analyzes the changes in the world of the professional musician brought about both by the outbreak of World War II and by long-term changes in the music business, in popular taste, and in American society itself. It describes how the infrastructure of American music - the interdependent fields of recording, touring, live engagements, radio, and the movies - was experiencing change in the conditions of wartime and how this impacted upon musical styles and hence upon the later history of popular music. Successive chapters of the book examine the impact of these changed conditions upon the songwriting and music publishing industries, upon the world of the touring big bands, and upon changing conceptions of the role of jazz and popular music."--Jacket.
