Bop Apocalypse, a narrative history from master storyteller Martin
Torgoff, details the rise of early drug culture in America by
weaving together the disparate elements that formed this new
segment of the American fabric. Channeling his decades of writing
experience, Torgoff connects the birth of jazz in New Orleans, the
first drug laws, Louis Armstrong, Mezz Mezzrow, the Federal Bureau
of Narcotics, swing, Lester Young, Billie Holliday, the Savoy
Ballroom, Reefer Madness, Charlie Parker, the birth of bebop, the
rise of the Beat Generation, and the coming of heroin to Harlem.
Having spent a lifetime immersed in the world where music and drugs
overlap, Torgoff reveals material that is completely new and has
never been disclosed before, not even in his own litany of work.
Bop Apocalypse is truly a new and fresh contribution to the
understanding of jazz, race, and drug culture.
