Description
The Great American Songbook refers to the collection of 20th-century popular songs and jazz standards that helped define pop music in the United States. Stories will examine the legacies of some of those beloved composers, songwriters, and songs. But this issue will also challenge the existing discourse on American standards, explore how these musical traditions continue to influence contemporary roots artists, and question what in our songbook really deserves to survive.
