We'll document the fertile interaction between minorities that transformed not only 20th-century music but the entire entertainment and popular culture industry. With strong support from audiovisuals and based on my own experience as concert promoter for three decades, we'll explore the legacy of the most relevant singers, performers, producers, record labels and booking agencies in the history of Rock, Pop, Blues and Jazz. We'll learn how the main Jazz standards and the Great American Songbook were built by artists like Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Benny Goodman, and Stan Getz, and how their legacy influenced Leiber and Stoller, Bob Dylan, Barbra Streisand, Lou Reed, Leonard Cohen, Kiss, Slash, and many more.
