Jazz Italian Style : From Its Origins In New Orleans To Fascist Italy and Sinatra.

When jazz arrived in Italy at the conclusion of World War I, it quickly became part of the local music culture. This book reveals how Italians made jazz their own, and how / by the mid-1930s, a genre of jazz distinguishable from American varieties and supported by Mussolini began to flourish in northern Italy and in turn influenced Italian-American musicians.
