(a Choice Outstanding Academic Book in 1982) was lauded for
providing access to material unavailable in any other source. To
update and expand the first edition, Handy has revised the profiles
of members featured in the first edition, corrected omissions, and
added personal and career facts for new faces on the scene.
Profiles are presented under the headings of orchestras and
orchestra leaders, string players, wind and percussion players,
keyboard players, and non-playing orchestra/band affiliates.
Features 100 photographs.
The International Sweethearts of Rhythm, a popular women's jazz
band of the 1940s, has earned a reputation as the 'best all-women's
swing band ever to perform.' This revised and updated edition
provides fascinating reading for jazz enthusiasts and students of
American history, music, and women's history. It is the most
comprehensive and objective history of the band to date. Handy
documents all sides of the band's controversial story and
interviews members of the band. She updates the careers of band
members who remained in the music business. Accompanied by an
extensive bibliography and many photographs.
