Evans warmly recounts his wide range of experience in the music industry and comments on popular New York City venues used for shaping and producing black music, such as the Apollo Theater, the Savoy, Minton's Playhouse, and the Rhythm Club. Revealing Evans as a master storyteller, Follow Your Heart describes his stints as a music executive, entrepreneur, and musician. Evans offers invaluable insight into race relations within the industry and the development of African American music and society from the 1920s to 1970s. 410 0$aAfrican American music in global perspective. 606 $aJazz musicians$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aRhythm and blues musicians$zUnited States$vBiography 615 0$aJazz musicians 615 0$aRhythm and blues musicians 676 $a781.65092 676 $aB 700 $aEvans$b Joe$f1916-$01821152 701 $aBrooks$b Christopher Antonio$f1957-$01633458 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962107803321 996 $aFollow your heart$94384773 997 $aUNINA
