Samenvatting
As the founder of Folkways records in 1948 and its director for nearly forty years, Moe Asch was committed to preserving the entire range of the world's musical and oral traditions. Besides American folk and blues singers, he also pioneered the release of music from Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Caribbean and documented the full range of African American culture, from jazz and poetry to children's songs. The author uses Asch's career as a lens to through which to view folk music, leftist politics, and the recording industry during the middle decades of the twentieth century. |
