Modernism and Popular Music.

This book strives to break down the distinction between high art and popular art with respect to modernism. The author argues that the popular music of artists such as the Gershwins, Cole Porter, Billie Holiday and others can be thought of in equal terms with the traditional high modernist art of the early 20th century. With a preface, introduction, notes, bibliography and index. Music examples.
