Charlie Barnet (1913-1991) is best known as the popular bandleader
whose hits included "Cherokee", "Pompton Turnpike", and "Skyliner".
But he was also the first to break the colour barrier in a popular
dance band, and his black musicians included Clark Terry, Roy
Eldridge, and singer Lena Horne; his white musicians included Jack
Purvis, Red Norvo, Maynard Ferguson, and Doc Severinson. Barnet not
only played jazz, he lived the jazz life: in this book, he writes
of his whiskey and marijuana habits, of his whorehouse visits and
his half-dozen marriages. Charlie Barnet epitomised the jazz age,
and there are few memoirs as lively as "Those Swinging Years".
