From the rear cover
During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, popular music was considered vulgar entertainment. But today, jazz and rock music are seen as forms of art, and their lead practitioners are regularly accorded a status on a par with the cultural elite. When and how did popular music earn so much cultural capital? To find out, Bernard Gendron investigates five key historical moments when popular music and avant-garde art transgressed the rigid boundaries separating high and low culture to form friendly alliances. Covering cabarets, jazz, rock and roll, punk rock, and new wave, Between Montmartre and the Mudd Club locates the historical points where music and high art collided. It is a book that should be on the shelves of anyone interested in the intersections between high and low culture, art and music, or history and aesthetics.
