Those Swinging Years
ISBN: 9780306804922 / Angielski / Miękka / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Charlie Barnet (1913-1991) is best known as the popular bandleader whose hits included Cherokee, Pompton Turnpike, and Skyliner.

Charlie Barnet epitomised the jazz age, and...

Hell: My Life in the Squirrel Nut Zippers
ISBN: 9780991042593 / Angielski / Miękka / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The Swing Movement -- all jazz hands and high-waisted pants -- advanced and receded in good order. I wrote this book to tell the other side of the story. I want you to know about the oddball collection of iconoclasts who got together and made the Squirrel Nut Zippers what they were: a combustible, improbable gumbo of joy and menace. Along the way, I write about our many influences: jazz and blues and hot music and calypso and, yes, swing. Come run these fields, like rabbits, while the harvest moon hangs caught in the branches. Come linger over this snapshot.
