Red and Hot: The Fate of Jazz in the Soviet Union, 1917-1991 (With a New Chapter on the Final Years)

“...that rare thing, a piece of careful scholarship that is also superby entertaining...Starr, who is president of Oberlin College and has been associated with the Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies, is also a professional jazz musician, and his knowledgeable affection for the music shines through the text.” – Andrea Lee, New York Times Book Review
