This website is awesome, lots of great stuff on the American influence on the Paris scene. Society may have been segregated but Hambone Am Sweet was sung by the Four Southern singers better than Gid Tanner's earlier version with the Skillet Lickers, Watermelon On the Vine. Libba Cotton played another Skillet Lickers song, I Don't Love Nobody. The book Lost Chords does champion the White influence in Jazz's creation. You know Hoagy and Pops had fun doing that Rocking Chair duet or Edie Lang and Lonnie Johnson's famous guitar recordings. Django was the highest paid musician in German occupied Paris but had to write new pieces that weren't American standards but still super jazzy, not bebop at all. I think the most important thing is music creates dance, danc creates community, and bebop and rock and roll started the death spiral. Joe Bussard commented that radio killed regional fiddling styles as everyone listened to the Grand Ole Opry. Ar crumb said the internet killed countercultures similarly. One big globohomo slop, the great tasteess melting pot made from the carcasses of a million flavor countries
