The Big Band Era: When Music was Music is a book that introduces the reader in PART 1 to the "History of the Big Band Era." It continues into PART 2, covering the private lives and professional careers of more than 150 bandleaders, complete with photos of each of them. These bandleaders include the most famous among the hundreds of them who made our lives enjoyable as we danced to their music at ballrooms or night clubs or listened to them on radio, watched them later on TV, or attended their performances at theaters like the Paramount in New York City.Among the early standard bearers was Pul Whiteman, who set the stage for the greats who followed, with whom we, today, are more familiar. They include such legendary bandleaders as Benny Goodman, the Dorsey brothers, Glenn Miller, Harry James, Duke Ellington, and a host of others about whom I'm sure you want to learn more, and they are all in this book for you to digest and enjoy.PART 3 is titled the "Showcase of the Pioneers in the History of Music." It is here where a few of the greatest composers, arrangers, and lyricists of the Era, led by Irving Berlin, are given much deserved space. PART 3 also gives credit to the pioneer disk jockeys of the Big Band Era.Finally, also in PART 3, we pay tribute with Special Recognition to personalities who warrant honorable mention for their achievements and for the influence they wielded during the Big Band Era.

In this book you will find an astounding 400 biographies that highlight the history and personnel of the great bands. It is organized into four sections: “The Big Bands--Then” (the scene, the leaders, the public, the musicians, vocalists, arrangers and businessmen, recordings, radio, movies and the press); “Inside the Big Bands” (profiles of 72 top bands); “Inside More of the Big Bands” (hundreds of additional profiles arranged by categories (“The Arranging Leaders,” “The Horn-playing Leaders,” etc.); and “The Big Bands Now.” The Big Bands is one of the best books on the subject. It is both readable and an invaluable reference source for the study of jazz standards since many were written by big band leaders or musicians or were popularized through their performances and recordings. The index is comprehensive with names but lists no songs. George T. Simon was one of the original organizers and members of the Glenn Miller Orchestra for which he played the drums. He was also one of the first writers for Metronome Magazine where he remained from 1935 until 1955.

During the 1930s, swing bands combined jazz and popular music to create large-scale dreams for the Depression generation, capturing the imagination of America's young people, music critics, and the music business. Swingin' the Dream explores that world, looking at the racial mixing-up and musical swinging-out that shook the nation and has kept people dancing ever since. "Swingin' the Dream is an intelligent, provocative study of the big band era, chiefly during its golden hours in the 1930s; not merely does Lewis A. Erenberg give the music its full due, but he places it in a larger context and makes, for the most part, a plausible case for its importance."—Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World "An absorbing read for fans and an insightful view of the impact of an important homegrown art form."—Publishers Weekly "[A] fascinating celebration of the decade or so in which American popular music basked in the sunlight of a seemingly endless high noon."—Tony Russell, Times Literary Supplement
