520    "The year 1917 was unlike any other in American history, 
       or in the history of American music. The United States 
       entered World War I, jazz burst onto the national scene, 
       and the German musicians who dominated classical music 
       were forced from the stage. As the year progressed, New 
       Orleans natives Nick LaRocca and Freddie Keppard 
       popularized the new genre of jazz, a style that suited the
       frantic mood of the era. African-American band leader 
       James Reese Europe accepted the challenge of making the 
       band of the Fifteenth New York Infantry into the best 
       military band in the country. Orchestral conductors Walter
       Damrosch and Karl Muck met the public demand for classical
       music while also responding to new calls for patriotic 
       music. Violinist Fritz Kreisler, pianist Olga Samaroff, 
       and contralto Ernestine Schumann-Heink gave American 
       audiences the best of Old-World musical traditions while 
       walking a tightrope of suspicion because of their German 
       sympathies. Before the end of the year, the careers of 
       these eight musicians would be upended, and music in 
       America would never be the same. Making Music American 
       recounts the musical events of this tumultuous year month 
       by month from New Year's Eve 1916 to New Year's Day 1918. 
       As the story unfolds, the lives of these eight musicians 
       intersect in surprising ways, illuminating the 
       transformation of American attitudes toward music both 
       European and American. In this unsettled time, no one was 
       safe from suspicion, but America's passion for music made 
       the rewards high for those who could balance musical skill
       with diplomatic savvy."--Publisher's description.
