This sweeping portrait from New York Times bestselling author Larry Tye delves into the fascinating lives of three jazz legends—Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong and Count Basie.
Born within a few years of one another, these musical geniuses overcame horrific discrimination with the sole mission of introducing Americans to transformational music that still endures today.
Based on more than 250 interviews, this extensively researched and critically acclaimed book brings alive the history of Black America in the early-to-mid 1900s and explores the Black-Jewish alliance of the time.
