註釋From singers that are the "blues royalty" (including Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday); to the big-band "canaries" (including Helen Forrest and Peggy Lee); to hundreds of early instrumentalists (including pianists like Mammy Lou, the greatest attraction of a famous New Orleans brothel, and famed trumpeter Valaida Snow); to band performers (such as the swing era Melodears and the International Sweethearts of Rhythm); and hundreds others, including less well-known but talented and active performers. The jazzwomen, the music, and their lives: they're all here, placed in rough chronology divided into stylistic periods spanning ten to fifteen years each. Based on extensive research and interviews, and laced with insightful analyses of such subtle issues as the sexual imagery of certain instruments or the more mundane problem of cleaning an elaborate gown on the road, this book depicts in rich and divers detail the lives and art of these jazzwomen.
