Description: "TUNES OF THE TWENTIES AND ALL THAT JAZZ--THE STORIES BEHIND THE SONGS" A fabulous new book filled with wonderful, little-known stories and anecdotes about songs of the Jazz Age that became part of the Great American Songbook. Jazz lovers, American Popular Music lovers, lovers of 20th Century American Cultural and Entertainment History, and anyone who holds a fascination for the era of prohibition, flappers, and speakeasies will enjoy reading about the music that went along with it. Highly illustrated with over 100 color photos of original sheet music covers and historic photographs, the book is an easy, entertaining read. Also listed are recommended recordings, both historic and current for the reader who wants to hear samples of this Hot Jazz. A perfect "coffee table" book, or for those who only have a few minutes to sit down and read at a time. Each song has a story, some of them pretty amazing! Forward by Vince Giordano, bandleader of The Nighthawks, and musical director of the series "Boardwalk Empire." Feel free to ask questions or give comments.
