American Big Bands
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I was pleased with the purchase of American Big Bands and with the service received from the seller.
Great Resource

As a brief reference guide to any and all of the big bands, this book can't be beat. I own several similar books by other authors, but as a summary bio, this is the best!
A book of biographies
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
After a few pages of interesting quotes by the big names in big band (both conductors and singers,) Dr. Taylor commences with over 350 pages of biographies and timelines for each decade of big band, beginning with the early 1900s. This is a wonderful reference for any music lover. The timelines give the stories of the musicians a new dimension. With the decline of 'classic' big bands, the sections on the 60s through the 90s don't have as much information, but they do discuss 'ghost bands' and the future of big bands.
