Great American music didn’t end with the classic American Songbook. It continued into the postwar generation with a new, more urbanized, sound. Much of it wouldn’t have been possible without the Jewish record companies who took the risk of recording this music, or without the Jewish producers who sculpted the sound, or without the Jewish composers who gave us this next chapter in the Great American  Songbook.
