Leader of the Band: The Life of Woody Herman Paperback - 1997
by Gene Lees
Asked by Woody Herman in 1986 to write his biography, Lees has spent close to a decade interviewing many of Herman's childhood friends and lifelong acquaintances, as well as numerous artists such as Les Brown, Peggy Lee, and Milt Jackson, to create this well-informed portrait of one of the great figures in jazz history. 25 photos.
First line
In the glory days of the big bands, little more than the decade between 1935 and 1945, the leaders of these orchestras were public heroes.
