Here is the story of "Hot Miss Lil" Hardin Armstrong, legendary jazz pianist, composer, and bandleader--and a female pioneer on the music stage. Ever since she was a young girl, Lil Hardin played music with a beat. She jammed at home, at church, and even at her first job in a music store. At a time when women's only place in jazz was at the microphone, Lil earned a spot playing piano in Chicago's hottest band. She went on to achieve fame as a bandleader and composer, and "swung" with many of the greatest early jazz musicians, including her husband, Louis Armstrong. Award-winning author Mara Rockliff and acclaimed illustrator Michele Wood brilliantly capture the rhythms and passions of this jazz pioneer and legend whose music and story deserve to be heard. This biography contains strong back matter which includes archival images, further information about Lil, a list of some of her songs and recordings, a timeline, an author's note, and a bibliography.

"This is an anthology of biographies detailing the careers of over 1,000 musicians whose names are part of jazz history. All the musicians and vocalists given individual entries were born before 1920. Only musicians born or raised in the U.S.A. are included in this volume. Some musicians born before 1920 are deliberately excluded, on the grounds that most of their professional successes occurred after the demise of 'Swing Street.'"--from Introduction.

The 1940s saw a brief audacious experiment in mass entertainment: a jukebox with a screen. Patrons could insert a dime, then listen to and watch such popular entertainers as Nat "King" Cole, Gene Krupa, Cab Calloway or Les Paul. A number of companies offered these tuneful delights, but the most successful was the Mills Novelty Company and its three-minute musical shorts called Soundies. This book is a complete filmography of 1,880 Soundies: the musicians heard and seen on screen, recording and filming dates, arrangers, soloists, dancers, entertainment trade reviews and more. Additional filmographies cover more than 80 subjects produced by other companies. There are 125 photos taken on film sets, along with advertising images and production documents. More than 75 interviews narrate the firsthand experiences and recollections of Soundies directors and participants. Forty years before MTV, the Soundies were there for those who loved the popular music of the 1940s. This was truly "music for the eyes."

In the words of the musicians who made it happen, Swing to Bop chronicles a watershed in jazz history: the music's movement from the Big Band era into the modern period. Ira Gitler interviewed more than fifty figures who, during the 1940s, helped make bop the most powerful force in modern jazz. Along with the music and musicians, the book sharply evokes the atmosphere in which they flourished. "By intercutting the interviews, he has summoned up a round-table discussion that uncovers little-known historical nuggets and terrific anecdotes....Mr. Gitler has done an exhaustive and creditable job."--The New York Times Book Review

Drawing on memoirs, oral histories, newspapers, magazines, recordings, photographs, literature, and films, Stowe looks at New Deal America through its music and shows us how the contradictions and tensions within swing--over race, politics, its own cultural status, the role of women--mirrored those played out in the larger society.
