Bop Apocalypse, a narrative record from master storyteller Martin Torgoff, details the surge of early medication culture in America by weaving along the disparate elements that formed this new portion of the American fabric. Channeling his ages of writing experience, Torgoff links the delivery of jazz in New Orleans, the first medication laws and regulations, Louis Armstrong, the Federal government Bureau of Narcotics, golf swing, Lester Young, Billie Vacation, the Savoy Ballroom, Reefer Madness, Charlie Parker, the delivery of bebop, the surge of the Master Generation, and the release of heroin in Harlem. Having put in a lifetime immersed in the overlapping worlds of music and drugs, Torgoff uncovers material that hasn't been disclosed before. Bop Apocalypse is a truly fresh contribution to our understanding of jazz, contest, and medication culture.
