Leader of the Band

Now comes the book that jazz lovers (and Lees's fans) have been waiting for - Leader of the Band, a vivid, full-scale biography of Woody Herman. Asked by Herman in 1986 to write his biography, Gene Lees has spent close to a decade working on it, interviewing many of Herman's childhood friends and lifelong acquaintances as well as numerous musicians.

המשפט הראשון: 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.
