Focusing on blues, jazz, gospel, rhythm and blues, and soul music,
this text explores the rich musical heritage of African-Americans
in California. The contributors describe in detail the individual
artists, locales, groups, musical styles and regional qualities,
and the result is a book which seeks to lay the groundwork for a
whole new field of study. The essays draw from oral histories,
music recordings, newspaper articles and advertisements, as well as
population statistics to provide insightful discussions of topics
such as the Californian urban milieu's influence on gospel music,
the development of the West Coast blues style, and the significance
of Los Angeles's Central Avenue in the early days of jazz. Other
esays offer perspectives on how individual musicians have been
shaped by their African-American heritage and on the role of the
record industry and radio in the making of music. In addition to
the diverse range of essays, the book includes a bibliography of
African-American music and culture in California.
