Jazz Italian Style explores a complex era in music history, when
politics and popular culture collided with national identity and
technology. When jazz arrived in Italy at the conclusion of World
War I, it quickly became part of the local music culture. In Italy,
thanks to the gramophone and radio, many Italian listeners paid
little attention to a performer's national and ethnic identity.
Nick LaRocca (Italian-American), Gorni Kramer (Italian), the Trio
Lescano (Jewish-Dutch), and Louis Armstrong (African-American), to
name a few, all found equal footing in the Italian soundscape. The
book reveals how Italians made jazz their own, and how, by the
mid-1930s, a genre of jazz distinguishable from American varieties
and supported by Mussolini began to flourish in northern Italy and
in its turn influenced Italian-American musicians. Most
importantly, the book recovers a lost repertoire and an array of
musicians whose stories and performances are compelling and well
worth remembering.
