Labor Day has been celebrated since the 1880s in the US, in recognition of industrial might, workers rights and the growing strength of trade unions. The holiday took on new meaning after the great depression, when government and industry came together to put Americans to work. During this time jazz and other folk idioms were being incorporated, and music composed for film was also an increasing influence.
These selections contain music from this era, and reflect the optimism, energy, sometimes the tragedy of a nation buckling down to sweat through adversity.
