Hurley (German studies, U. of technology, Sydney) discusses the influential yet controversial German record producer and writer Joachim-Ernst Berendt and how he attempted to establish jazz in his country during and after the Third Reich. Written for students and scholars of both music and German history, this book includes many of Berendt's writings and productions and shows how we was able organize recordings with musicians from Japan, Tunisia, Brazil, Indonesia and India during his career. This volume also contains a chronology, discography and a concluding essay by Wolfram Knauer on Berendt's overall contributions to German jazz.
