Daniel Hardie’s new work - Jazz and the Jazz Age: Searching for Meaning in a Word, the latest in his series of works on early jazz history, is now available at on-line booksellers.
In this work Daniel Hardie traces the passage of a new form of music from beginnings in New Orleans to Chicago and New York during the heady years of the Roaring Twenties.
A new word entered the language - Jazz - a word that gave a new name to the decade - The Jazz Age. Audiences were dazzled by the new music that rapidly began to dominate popular music in the US and moved on to conquer the world.
It had an appealing sound, bringing with it this strange new and powerful word that seemed to come from nowhere and survived the music of the Jazz Age. What did it mean?
