In his most recent book, Dangerous Rhythms, Jazz and the Underworld, author T.J. English explores the symbiotic relationship between jazz musicians and the mob during the first half of the 20th Century, and how that mutually beneficial partnership helped the music flourish but kept the deeply racist attitudes of the day solidly in place.

I talked with T.J. English in August 2023.
