| THE DEVIL'S MUSIC When the new sound of jazz first spread across America in the early twentieth-century, it left delight and controversy in its wake. The more popular it became, the more the liberating and sensuous music was criticised by everyone and everything from carmaker Henry Ford to publications like the Ladies Home Journal and The New York Times. Yet jazz survived. The Devil's Music examines the evolution of jazz from a radically new and socially unacceptable musical genre to its current status as a great American art form.
