Among those most directly affected were musicians, who had to adapt to successive inventions and refinements in audio technology--from wax cylinders and gramophones to radio and sound films. In this groundbreaking study, James P. Kraft explores the intersection of sound technology, corporate power, and artistic labor during this disruptive period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKraft begins in the late nineteenth century's \"golden age\" of musicians, when demand for skilled instrumentalists often exceeded supply, analyzing the conflicts in concert halls, nightclubs, recording studios, radio stations, and Hollywood studios as musicians began to compete not only against their local counterparts but also against highly skilled workers in national \"entertainment factories.\" Kraft offers an illuminating case study in the impact of technology on industry and society--and a provocative chapter in the cultural history of America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames P.
