A People's Music presents the first full history of jazz in East
Germany, drawing on new and previously unexamined sources and vivid
eyewitness accounts. Helma Kaldewey chronicles the experiences of
jazz musicians, fans, and advocates, and charts the numerous
policies state socialism issued to manage this dynamic art form.
Offering a radical revision of scholarly views of jazz as a musical
genre of dissent, this vivid and authoritative study marks
developments in the production, performance, and reception of jazz
decade by decade, from the GDR's beginning in the 1940s to its end
in 1990, examining how members of the jazz scene were engaged with
(and were sometimes complicit with) state officials and agencies
throughout the Cold War. From postwar rebuilding, to Stalinism and
partition, to detente, Ostpolitik, and glasnost, and finally to its
acceptance as a national art form, Kaldewey reveals just how many
lives jazz has lived.
