The Devil's Music: 1920s Jazz, examines the evolution of jazz from a radically new and socially unacceptable musical genre to its current status as a great American art form. What was it about the music that offended so many people-and how did jazz finally gain widespread acceptance? Does this struggle for respect resonate with modern musical artists like the creators of rap? Using the music itself, The Devil's Music tackles these questions, weaving on-camera performances with historical recordings and footage, and interviews with cultural and musical innovators. Interviewees include jazz musicians Franz Jackson, Marian McPartland, and Billy Taylor; rap artist Chuck D; record producer George Avakian; C. Delores Tucker and William Bennett from Empower America; Reverend Calvin Butts; journalist Studs Terkel; scholar and cultural critic Michael Eric Dyson; writer Albert Murray; and historians Ann Douglas, Lewis Erenberg, Kathy Ogren, and Dempsey Travis. In addition, jazz singer Rachelle Ferrell is featured performing jazz vocals.
