1 Jan 1920 Jahr - Jones - Blues People and the Classic Blues
Beschreibung:
first in depth history of African American music from slavery to jazz
Critqued for embrace of reflection theory --> modified views by introductin the changing same concept
In contrasting country v classic bues, focused on social functions
Linked classic blues with minstrels --> minstrels provided early employment for black musicians, touring minstrels helped spread classic blues, minstrels infused theatrical elements into older "primitive blues" (led to professionalization) --> made classic blues a stylized response to social issues
