Stomp and Swerve: American Music Gets Hot, 1843–1924 by David Wondrich
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 4.2MB
Overview: The early decades of American popular music are, for most listeners, the dark ages. It wasn’t until the mid-1920s that the full spectrum of this music — black and white, urban and rural, sophisticated and crude — made it onto records for all to hear. This book brings a forgotten music, hot music, to life by describing how it became the dominant American music — how it outlasted sentimental waltzes and parlour ballads, symphonic marches and Tin Pan Alley novelty numbers — and how it became rock ‘n’ roll. It reveals that the young men and women of that bygone era had the same musical instincts as their descendants Louis Armstrong, Elvis Presley, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, and even Ozzy Osbourne. In minstrelsy, ragtime, brass bands, early jazz and blues, fiddle music, and many other forms, there was as much stomping and swerving as can be found in the most exciting performances of hot jazz, funk, and rock.
