This authentic account of the Big Band Era and the Age of Swing is
alive with firsthand dialogue by Chris Griffin. Vache traces the
events spanning Griffin's career from his time in the Benny Goodman
band with Harry James and Ziggy Elman in what Duke Ellington dubbed
the best brass section of its day through his freelance years in
radio, television and records where he recorded with legendary
musicians such as Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday,
Tony Bennett, and Frank Sinatra. Griffin's honesty and humor shine
through the text as he recalls a time when talent and dedication to
quality were supreme. Seventeen photographs and an excellent
discography provided by Ed Berger further the understanding of
Griffin as a man and an artist. This book is ideal for music
lovers, especially those with a keen interest in the big bands of
the 1930s and the lives of the era's most memorable musicians.
