During the Cold War, jazz became a cultural weapon that was
employed by both sides to advance their interests. This volume
explores the history and roles of jazz in Poland, the German
Democratic Republic (GDR), Czechoslovakia, Hungary, the Soviet
Union, and the Baltic States by means of several case studies. The
American administration attempted to destabilize the political
systems of the Eastern Bloc countries, while the powers responsible
for culture in the Eastern Bloc countries tried to curtail the US
propaganda campaign. This resulted in distinct jazz traditions and
jazz scenes, each governed by a distinct behavioural codex, as well
as official responses in each of the Eastern Bloc countries.
