The Product of Our Souls: Ragtime, Race, and the Birth of the Manhattan Musical Marketplace
David Gilbert
In 1912 James Reese Europe made history by conducting his Clef Club Orchestra at Carnegie Hall. The first concert by an African American ensemble at the venue was a political act of desegregation, a defiant challenge to the status quo. David Gilbert explores how Europe and other African American performers transformed their racial difference into the mass-market commodity known as “black music”.
