Title: That Jazz! an idiosyncratic social history of the American twenties.
Description: NY, Putnam, (1978). 1st ed. VG in VG DJ. Fresh, original look at the American 20s. A jumble of information, a bombardment of facts & figures, salesmanship of. the burgeoning mass media combined with life at the movie theaters. All this produced jazz, the metaphor of the age, a symbol of a new national ethos, a hungry amoral searching, a simplistic reduction of events or personalities to a single meaning, a totalism of cynical salesmanship.
