Description
"Swing It! is a celebration of jive, that exuberant, irrepressible, and entirely infectious spirit found in such good-time anthems as "Are You Hep to the Jive?" "Jump, Jive 'n' Wail," and "Hit That Jive, Jack." It chronicles the rich and colorful history of that quintessentially American sound, taking us on a journey from its pioneers to today's retro swingers through its Golden Era. Along the way it illuminates the hip contributions made by beboppers, jump blues hounds, N'awlins jivesters, the white connection, and women jivesters. Swing It! includes a hilarious, too-hip-for-the-room foreword by Tim Hauser (founder of the Grammy Award-winning Manhattan Transfer), extensive discographies, a comprehensive A-Z jive glossary, and vintage photos of jive's most charismatic entertainers."--BOOK JACKET.
