Beschreibung:
Between Beats: The Jazz Tradition and Black Vernacular Dance offers a new look at the complex intersections between jazz music and popular dance over the last hundred-plus years. Author Christi Jay Wells shows how popularentertainment and cultures of social dancing were crucial to jazz music's formation and development even as jazz music came to earn a reputation as a 'legitimate' art form better suited for still, seated listening.
