Description

A People's Music: Jazz in East Germany, 1945-1990 offers the first full history of jazz within the GDR. Published by Cambridge University Press, this study by Helma Kaldewey utilizes new and previously unexamined sources alongside vivid eyewitness accounts to reconstruct the musical landscape. This authoritative work chronicles the lives of jazz musicians, fans, and advocates while tracking the various state socialism policies used to manage the genre. By examining developments in production, performance, and reception decade by decade, the book provides a radical revision of the idea that jazz was solely a genre of dissent. It covers the entire era from the beginning of the GDR in the 1940s through its conclusion in 1990.
