How did jazz musicians begin the process of breaking down racial barriers?

History

igomit [66]3 years ago

Answer:

"A decade before Jackie Robinson broke down baseball's "color barrier," the black jazz greats Teddy Wilson and Lionel Hampton were making not just musical but also social and cultural history by playing with Benny Goodman, the enormously popular white band leader and clarinetist known as the King of Swing. Goodman's racial mix worked superbly, and its success struck a significant blow against racism.

Certainly, racism reared its ugly head in many insidious ways in the recording and publishing industries where black composers and musicians were often ripped off by the white power structure. Even the media-created title, King of Swing, would have been far more justly afforded to such legendary black band leaders as Duke Ellington, Count Basie or Jimmie Lunceford. Not even the greatest black jazz artists, such as Louis Armstrong, Ellington or Charlie Parker, were exempt from the long, poisonous reach of the overt racism of their time."-these words are from Deseret, wanted to give you an accurate answer.

Explanation:

jazz musicians began to break down racial barriers, by proving that they could do anything if not better that white people could do. they didn't want the color of their skin to be something that would hold them back from being successful in the world. they wanted to show that just because they were denied of the right to live, vote and many more that they could prove all of those things wrong and do something great.
