The Ladies Who Sing With the Band

"Betty Bennett belongs to the bygone era in American popular music when "territory bands" of many male musicians and a lone "girl singer" toured the country. Her book combines firsthand anecdotes of major jazz figures, among them Nat King Cole, Dizzy Gillespie, and Georgie Auld, with insights into singing, the music industry, and her relationship with her husband, guitar great Mundell Lowe."--BOOK JACKET.
