Description
Documenting a portion of American cultural history, The Blue Note focuses on Seattle's black American Federation of Musician's Local 493. It is an upbeat story of race, jazz, gender, and union culture, set in the Pacific Northwest and the wider jazz world. Detailed research and end notes underpin a user-friendly pictorial format, spanning the years from the 1880s to the mid-1950s. Featuring more than 100 photographs and other illustrations--many previously unpublished--The Blue Note uses union documents, first person oral histories, and extensive primary and secondary sources.
"The Blue Note takes me home to the heady days of Seattle's jazz scene. It's a fine blend of rare photographs, first person accounts and solid scholarship. It also shines light on the path-breaking union musicians who played Seattle and ultimately brought about the merging of the black and white unions."--Quincy JonesEXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
