From Louis Armstrong to Joe Glaser, Fats Waller to Al Capone, Frank Sinatra to Lucky Luciano and so many more, Music and the Mafia covers the history of America’s most celebrated art form–jazz–and its inseparable ties to organized crime in America. From 1900 to 1980 and beyond, this thrilling tale is presented as part history lesson/part performance by Michigan musician/scholar Nick Veine.
