The book addresses --
1. So Blue -- about the name of the music and a little about
the music. This is the color of melancholia.
2. All Those Jazzes
-- the lineage of the
word "jazz" is not a straight line; it is a knot.
3. Tin Pan Alley -- this is
both history and the address of a song factory.
4.
Muddy Water -- the person, the song, and the song trail.
5. Puttin' on the Ritz -- he just
didn't understand.
6. Away Down South in Dixie -- it isn't where a lot of people think it is, and it isn't what a lot of people
think it was. And it never was what it was thought to be.
7. A History of the
American Minstrel -- an American original.
8. Bosum Bands --
great female orchestras.
9. The Longest Song Introduction -- it is about money. Old money.
10. Sharing Music; The Song Circle; In Four Parts -- what they are and how they function.
