Where Dead Voices Gather by Nick Tosches
Requirements: .ePUB, .MOBI/.AZW reader, 1.33 MB
Overview: A forgotten singer from the early days of jazz is at the center of this riveting book–a narrative that is part mystery, part biography, part meditation on the meaning and power of music.
This book is ostensibly a biography of Emmett Miller, a blackface minstrel show performer whose "clarinet voice" inspired people like Jimmy Rodgers, Hank Williams, and Merle Haggard.
Blackface minstrelsy would seem to be a delicate topic all these years after its demise, but not for Nick Tosches. He bounces back and forth between the two cultures that built this entertainment form, for decades the most popular performance diversion in the U.S. Whites took from blacks, blacks took from whites, whites took it back again. And so on. A fascinating story that only occasionally gets uncomfortable.
