Book Synopsis

Examines jazz music and the jazz artists who shaped Germany's exposure to this African American art form from 1919 to 1933. Jonathan O. Wipplinger explores the history of jazz in Germany as well as the roles that music, race (especially Blackness), and America played in German culture and follows the debate over jazz through the fourteen years of Germany's first democracy.

Trade Review

Unique in reconstructing the reception of jazz in and the translation of jazz into Weimar Germany in its multidimensionality and (trans-)national specificity. The detail and scope of the author’s research and the nuanced way he is interpreting his findings are impressive. The author has followed unfinished traces and tracked down surprising connections to assemble a picture that is rich in both depth and scale."" - Tobias Nagl, University of Western Ontario
