It provides an intimate and compelling look at the many forces that shaped this most American of art forms and the many influences that gave rise to jazz's post-war styles. Rich with the voices of musicians, producers, promoters, and others on the scene during the decades following World War II, this book views jazz's evolution through the prism of technological advances, social transformations, changes in the law, economic trends, and much more. In an absorbing narrative enlivened by the commentary of key personalities, Marc Myers describes the myriad of events and trends that affected the music's evolution, among them, the American Federation of Musicians strike in the early 1940's, changes in radio and concert-promotion, the introduction of the long-playing record, the suburbanization of Los Angeles, the Civil Rights movement, the "British invasion" and the rise of electronic instruments. This groundbreaking book deepens our appreciation of this music by identifying many of the developments outside of jazz itself that contributed most to its texture, complexity, and growth. 606 $aJazz$xHistory and criticism 610 $a20th century america. 610 $a20th century music. 610 $aamerican federation of music. 610 $aamerican history. 610 $abooks for music lovers. 610 $acalifornia history. 610 $acivil rights movement. 610 $aculture of jazz. 610 $adiscussion books. 610 $aeducational books. 610 $aevolution of music. 610 $aevolution of radio. 610 $ajazz and society. 610 $ajazz history. 610 $amusic criticism. 610 $amusic history. 610 $amusic studies. 610 $amusic. 610 $amusicians. 610 $anonfiction books. 610 $aperforming arts. 610 $apolitics and music. 610 $apost war art. 610 $apost war culture. 610 $aradio history. 610 $arise of los angeles. 610 $asocial history of america. 610 $athe anatomy of music. 615 0$aJazz$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a781.65/5 700 $aMyers$b Marc$f1956-$01498882 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786197303321 996 $aWhy jazz happened$93724573 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04567nam 22008175 450 001 9910790012703321 005 20230721014553.0 010 $a0-8147-9009-7 024 7 $a10.18574/9780814790090 035 $a(CKB)2670000000155532 035 $a(EBL)866082 035 $a(OCoLC)779828407 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000607098 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11415948 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000607098 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10584648 035 $a(PQKB)10855841 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC866082 035 $a(OCoLC)794701070 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse10233 035 $a(DE-B1597)547418 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780814790090 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000155532 100 $a20200723h20092009 fg 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn#---uunuu 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aDying to Get High $eMarijuana as Medicine /$fWendy Chapkis, Richard J.

Warring Wines; ?You Want to Fight??; Nurse Mary Jane in Santa Cruz High Times interviews the authors Alternet excerpt of the book ("How Pot Became Demonized")Discussion from the Santa Cruz Metro Marijuana as medicine has been a politically charged topic in this country for more than three decades. Despite overwhelming public support and growing scientific evidence of its therapeutic effects (relief of the nausea caused by chemotherapy for cancer and AIDS, control over seizures or spasticity caused by epilepsy or MS, and relief from chronic and acute pain, to name a few), the drug remains illegal under federal law. In Dying to Get High, noted sociologist Wendy Chapkis and Richard J. Webb investigate one community of seriously-ill patients fighting the federal government for the right to use physician-recommended marijuana. Based in Santa Cruz, California, the Wo/Men?s Alliance for Medical Marijuana (WAMM) is a unique patient-caregiver cooperative providing marijuana free of charge to mostly terminally ill members. For a brief period in 2004, it even operated the only legal non-governmental medical marijuana garden in the country, protected by the federal courts against the DEA. Using as their stage this fascinating profile of one remarkable organization, Chapkis and Webb tackle the broader, complex history of medical marijuana in America. Through compelling interviews with patients, public officials, law enforcement officers and physicians, Chapkis and Webb ask what distinguishes a legitimate patient from an illegitimate pothead, good drugs from bad, medicinal effects from just getting high. Dying to Get High combines abstract argument and the messier terrain of how people actually live, suffer and die, and offers a moving account of what is at stake in ongoing debates over the legalization of medical marijuana. 606 $aMarijuana$xTherapeutic use$zUnited States 610 $aAlliance. 610 $aAmerica. 610 $aUses. 610 $aWoMens. 610 $abook. 610 $abroad. 610 $acomplex. 610 $acooperative. 610 $acurrently. 610 $afascinating. 610 $afree. 610 $ahistory. 610 $amarijuana. 610 $amedical. 610 $apatients. 610 $aproviding. 610 $astage. 610 $atackles. 610 $aterminally. 610 $athis. 610 $aunique. 615 0$aMarijuana$xTherapeutic use 676 $a615.32345 700 $aChapkis$b Wendy$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01567644 702 $aWebb$b Richard J.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790012703321 996 $aDying to Get High$93839165 997 $aUNINA
