内容説明

From the earliest "riverboat jazz" to Dizzy Gillespie's "Hep-Sations of 1945", "Swing Out" is the story of the great black dance bands who dazzled America for over 40 years. Included are stories of the greats: how Fletcher Henderson would become so hypnotised by the sound of his band that he would quit playing piano and just listen; how "Bubber" Miley of the Duke Ellington Orchestra invented the "growl technique"; how Noble Sissle became the darling of the international set; how John Hammond brought Count Basie to New York; how Erskine Hawkins developed a short musical break into the hit "Tuxedo Junction"; how Jimmie Lunceford created his orchestra from his high school students; and scores of other inside stories about such notables as Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Fats Waller, Lionel Hampton, Cab Calloway and Earl Hines.
