Between the mid-1930s and the late '40s, the center of the jazz world was a two-block stretch of 52nd Street in Manhattan. This book employs a range of materials, from photographs to interviews with musicians, to bring the street's history to life and to shed light on the interracial contacts and collaborations it generated.
