Summary Jazz as an instrument of global diplomacy transformed superpower relations in the Cold War era and reshaped democracy?s image worldwide. Lisa E. Davenport tells the story of America?s program of jazz diplomacy practiced in the Soviet Union and other regions of the world from 1954 to 1968. Jazz music and jazz musicians seemed an ideal card to play in diminishing the credibility and appeal of Soviet communism in the Eastern bloc and beyond.
