The narrative explores the life of Emmett Miller, a pioneering yet overlooked figure in early jazz history. Through a 20-year investigation, Tosches uncovers the complexities of Miller's career as a yodeling blackface performer whose influence shaped jazz, country, blues, and 20th-century popular music. The book is enriched with photographs, providing a visual context to Miller's legacy and the cultural dynamics of his time.
