From the Streets to the Stage: The Birth and Rise of Jazz Music
"Music is the silence between the notes," said the French musician Claude Debussy, a "silence" that expresses the dreams and desires of creators.

It enabled people otherwise condemned to cultural non-existence to assert their participation in art seriously.
