Springwood Avenue Harmony: The Unique Musical Legacy of Asbury Park's West Side, Volume One: 1871 - 1945
Description:
Since just after it's founding in 1871, Asbury Park, New Jersey, has been a "music city". Yet through much of its history, Asbury Park has been a segregated city. While much is known about the musicians who played the seaside resort's beachfront venues, until now, little has been written about the music of the shadow city just across the railroad tracks. Springwood Avenue Harmony details the history of music from Asbury Park's predominantly African American West Side from 1871 through 1945. It includes the genres of Spirituals, Ragtime, Stride Piano, Jazz, Black Vaudeville, Blues, Big Band, Gospel and Pop music. The book examines the social, political, economical and racial climates under which the music developed and evolved. The lives of West Side singers and musicians long forgotten are finally given recognition. Also covered are the churches, theaters, nightclubs and entertainment venues that made up the music scene along Springwood Avenue. The book has close to 200 rare photos/flyers and is drawn from more than 700 documented news clippings, journals, books and interviews.
