<br/><br/> Many regard jazz as the soundtrack of America, born and raised in its cities and echoing throughout its tumultuous century of progress. So when Ernest Hemingway wrote about seeing jazz in 1920s Paris, and when British colonial officials danced to jazz in the clubs of Calcutta in the waning years of the Raj, how, exactly, had it gotten there? This volume aims to answer these questions and more, bringing together voices from countries as far flung as Azerbaijan, Armenia and India to show that the story of jazz is not trapped in American history books but alive in global modernity.
