Book Synopsis When Swing was the Thing by : John R. Tumpak
Book excerpt: Fifteen-piece swinging dance bands swept the country in popularity during the big band era of 1935-1946, the only time in America's history to-date when jazz was the most popular form of music. This book provides detailed profiles, many based on personal interviews, of the era's bandleaders, musicians, vocalists, arrangers, and contributors.--Publisher's information.
