About this product

Product Information

Cohen records a historic conflict ending in the 1960s between musicians and the police in New York. Harassed musicians and performers were joined by a 'Citizen's Committee' of famous writers and publishers to fight the City Police Department's arbitrary rules and regulations against musicians, performers, and other employees of hotels, restaurants, and cabarets, and its powerful highly publicized 'law and order' Commissioner Stephen Kennedy. Among the musicians were Bud Powell, JJ Johnson, Duke Ellington, Nina Simone, and Johnny Richards. Important social issues dominated several trials, detailed in this book. Ultimately, the musicians and entertainers won. The author writes from personal experience, since he was attorney for the musicians, the entertainers, and the Citizen's Committee.

Reviews
...well-written and well-documented....recommended to both public and academic libraries at all levels., ...thorough and illuminating book...Cohen's meticulous landmark book on the cabaret card system documents a deplorable procedure in the 1940-1969 period during which the basic rights of large numbers of musicians were ruthlessly ignored by law enforcement...invaluable as the definitive resource on a previously unexamined aspect of the use of the drug problem to deprive a significant group of people of their rights...
