Summary

"This book provides an account of a unique victory for musicians against repressive entertainment licensing laws. It provides a much-needed study of the social, political, cultural and legal conditions surrounding a change in law and public attitudes toward vernacular music in New York City." "This book will be essential reading for all those interested in the history of social attitudes toward the popular arts and the use of constitutional litigation for social change."--BOOK JACKET.
