A really great survey of the 20s jazz and pop music that includes
discussion of your topic is:

Arnold Shaw, "The Jazz Age: Popular music in the 1920's." Oxford
University Press, 1987. Out of Print. This goody describes American
popular and show music during the period; Jazz was one of these forms and
interacted in a number of ways with the other music. Essential to show the
proper place of jazz in the American music scene but is more a basic
introduction for anyone interested in the period. Loads of details.

Look for it in Amazon.com--one never knows when op books will show up in
one of their used book stores.

A really good source of used books of all kinds is American Book Exchange (www.abebooks.com).   
Some copies of the Shaw book are available there right now, at very reasonable prices.  I
bought my copy of New Orleans Jazz: A Family Album from an ABEBooks vendor.
