This story is revealed through the career of legal giant Nathan Burkan, whose clients included Charlie Chaplin, Al Jolson, Frank Costello, Victor Herbert, Mae West, Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, Arnold Rothstein, and Samuel Goldwyn. Burkan was one of the principal draftspeople of the epochal Copyright Act of 1909 and the guiding spirit behind the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers, which was established to protect the rights of composers whose music was being played in cabarets and theaters without compensation. Burkan's groundbreaking work laid the legal foundation for the Great American Songbook and the Golden Age of Hollywood, and it continues to influence popular culture today. Gary A. Rosen tells stories of dramatic and often uproarious courtroom confrontations, scandalous escapades of the rich and famous, and momentous clashes of powerful political, economic, and cultural forces from which the United States emerged as the world's leading exporter of creative energy. Adventures of a Jazz Age Lawyer is not merely an engaging look at the life of Nathan Burkan, but a history of entertainment and intellectual property law in the early twentieth century. Rosen takes us on a fascinating romp through an era of American culture that promises new discoveries for anyone interested in the spirit of the Jazz Age"--Provided by publisher. 600 10 Burkan, Nathan. |=^A1391152 650 0 Copyright |xMusic |zUnited States |xHistory. |=^A767750 650 0 Copyright |xPerforming rights |zUnited States |xHistory. |=^A1000993 650 0 Copyright |xArtistic performance |zUnited States |xHistory. |=^A834777 650 0 Performing arts |zUnited States |y20th century |xHistory. |=^A36980 650 7 Copyright |xArtistic performance. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00878711 650 7 Copyright |xMusic. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00878748 650 7 Copyright |xPerforming rights. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00878755 650 7 Performing arts. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01057887 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 |?UNAUTHORIZED 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iOnline version:Rosen, Gary A. |tAdventures of a Jazz Age lawyer. |dOakland, California : University of California Press, [2020] |z9780520969759 |w(DLC) 2019980732 |w(OCoLC)1108805725 949 |i30372017363059 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s29.95 |tJoyner48 |uJAPP |zUSD 596 1 998 5267952
