In the 1920s, many black regional jazz bands were recorded and
became products of the entertainment industry, which was altering
the face of America from the handmade, homemade, homemade society
of the ninteenth century to the mass-produced, mass-consumed
technological culture of the twentieth century. Making use of the
files of African American newspapers, such as the Chicago Defender,
as well as published and archival oral history interviews,
Hennessey explores the contradictions that musicians often faced as
African Americans, as trained professional musicians, and as the
products of differing regional experiences. From Jazz to Swing
follows jazz from its beginnings in the regional black musics of
the turn of the century in New Orleans, Chicago, New York, and the
territories that make up the rest of the country.
