Lewiston, N.Y.: Edward Mellon Press, 2015.The history of American popular music is commonly discussed in terms which, by defining seminal individuals, trends and locales, serve to paint a broad picture of the development of the art form. In many contexts this is an appropriate method for analyzing and understanding the origins of American popular music. The convenience and widespread applicability of this approach, however, brings with it significant omissions and the likelihood that many aspects of the development of the music are overlooked. With an abundance of useful and well-conceived volumes addressing this kind of generalist approach readily available to readers today, more focused writing that takes specific perspectives on the development of popular music in America are warranted - even required. Peter Dunbaugh Smith's recent monograph involves just this kind of specific local perspective, and is a welcome addition to the literature addressing specialized developments in American popular music around the turn of the century.By focusing on a cultural center in an American city not commonly associated with early developments in American popular music, Smith gives the reader a new lens through which to understand how familiar national figures in the performing arts of the era relate to those outside the traditionally accepted centers of musical development, namely New York, Chicago and New Orleans. Embedded in this narrative, Smith presents two primary threads of discovery. The foreground thread is his fairly comprehensive overview of African American performance traditions in the La Villa neighborhood of Jacksonville, Florida, and how that cultural center is connected to other musical commu- nities across America. In this line of exploration, extensively researched and thoroughly referenced descriptions of the theaters, halls, productions and business ventures involved in the entertainment industry in Jacksonville over a twenty-year span are detailed. While many of the names and locales may be unfamiliar to most readers, by the third chapter, it becomes clear that the turn of any page can reveal a surprisingly direct connection to a much more familiar artist or composition. These discoveries, while seemingly trivial, add an exciting element to the overall impression on this reader.The other thread of discovery illuminated throughout the text by virtue of the localized nature of the subject matter is a direct explication of the socio-cultural climate in African American communities of northern Florida as a representative region of the South at the turn of the century. By relaying the history of musical performance in Jacksonville and its neighboring cities in such a thorough and exhaustive manner, Smith necessarily tracks the influence of Jim Crow on what began as an era of hope for the African American community in the wake of Reconstruction. In the brief period between 1896 and 1916, we see the rise and decline of agency for African Americans, specifically in the performing arts, culminating in strict social segregation laws, political disenfranchisement, and the suppression of economic opportunity that came about through the misnamed separate, but equal national policy, which arose in the wake of the historic Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision in 1896.Interwoven into these two threads is the story of American popular music, its relationship to musical theater and the African American contribution to all musical expression of early twentieth-century America. It is in this context that I question the prominent inclusion of jazz in the title of this book. While it is clear that Smith does make reference to a few artists in their formative years who later became known for their contributions to jazz, the use of the term and even the idiom of jazz at this time is perhaps anachronistic. …" @default.
