A wonderful soundtrack for any English teacher tackling The Great Gatsby. Essentially, you have small pre-swing bands of hungry white musicians acting out a process Elvis Presley would make more famous in the '50s—expressing their love for African-American rhythm and improvisation by straining to match it. They didn't quite succeed, but the results are glorious to listen to.
