As an American musical symbol and an emblem of modernity and racial progress, jazz had a prominent role in the foreign propaganda that the United States carried out during the Cold War to improve their image and win allies. This article analyzes the place that the American government reserved to jazz in its cultural diplomacy in Spain during the fifties, considering the several agents, means and mechanisms of this propaganda, as well as its connections with the international circuits of jazz, its reception conditions and its effects on Spanish society and public opinion.
