While depicting the segregated city before World War II, Absher traces the migration of black musicians, both men and women and both classical and vernacular performers, from the American South to Chicago during the 1930s to 1950s. Absher takes the history beyond the study of jazz and blues by examining the significant role that classically trained black musicians played in building the Chicago South Side community. By acknowledging the presence and importance of classical musicians, Absher argues that black migrants in Chicago had diverse education and economic backgrounds but found common cause in the city’s music community. 2018-03-01 23:55:55 2020-03-12 03:00:31 2020-04-01T12:49:27Z 2020-04-01T12:49:27Z 2014-06-16 book 648333 OCN: 882610680 9780472119172 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/30245 eng application/pdf n/a 648333.pdf University of Michigan Press 10.3998/mpub.3974910 100863 10.3998/mpub.3974910 e07ce9b5-7a46-4096-8f0c-bc1920e3d889 b818ba9d-2dd9-4fd7-a364-7f305aef7ee9 9780472119172 Knowledge Unlatched (KU) Ann Arbor 100863 KU Select 2017: Backlist Collection Knowledge Unlatched open access |

Amy Absher’s The Black Musician and the White City tells the story of African American musicians in Chicago during the mid-twentieth century. While depicting the segregated city before World War II, Absher traces the migration of black musicians, both men and women and both classical and vernacular performers, from the American South to Chicago during the 1930s to 1950s.
Absher takes the history beyond the study of jazz and blues by examining the significant role that classically trained black musicians played in building the Chicago South Side community. By acknowledging the presence and importance of classical musicians, Absher argues that black migrants in Chicago had diverse education and economic backgrounds but found common cause in the city’s music community. |
