And introducing…….ORGANIZED LABOR! From the 1940’s through 1960’s, as the music industry was fracturing and reforming around selling recordings of Jazz, Classical, Country and a new thing called Rock n’ Roll, a group of valiant musicians attempted to represent their own interests, in a Musicians’ Union.
