Voices Of The Jazz Age  Chip
Deffaa University of Illinois Press, 1992 Paperback. 278pp. b&w illustrations £13.99 Eight musicians who rose to popularity during the 1920s are profiled in this vivid slice of jazz history, and Chip Deffaa allows them to tell their stories largely in their own words. The voices we hear belong to Sam Wooding, Bix Beiderbecke, Jimmy McPartland, Bud Freeman, Joe Tarto, Benny Waters, Freddie Moore, and Jabbo Smith. CHIP DAFFAA, author of Swing Legacy, is a New York Post jazz critic and a regular contributor to Jazz Times and Crescendo International. "A book that needed to be written and Deffaa did it just in the nick of time…Deffaa uses the interviews as part of his well-written narratives and covers his subjects' entire lives rather than just focusing on their fleeting moments of fame…Highly recommended." - CADENCE |
