Baseball and Jazz
Baseball and jazz are two uniquely American art forms that have a long and intertwined history. Baseball was also one of the first sports to be integrated, with Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in 1947. Jazz emerged from the African American communities of New Orleans in the late 19th century. The music quickly spread to other parts of the country, and by the early 20th century, jazz was a major force in American culture. This podcast celebrates baseball through jazz music inspired by America's Pastime, baseball.
