He was active in opera and show music during the 1920s and 1930s. The two short operas on this album, \"De Organizer\" and \"Dreamy Kid,\" were also written during that period, and both are based on African American life after World War I. One is a hopeful story of overcoming poverty and racism, while the other is a tragedy of police violence in the face of unjust racial discrimination. The other is a tragedy depicting police violence amidst unjust racial discrimination. Both works are rich in jazz, swing, blues, and ragtime.
