Samenvatting

LOUIS CHILDREN LESLIE GOURSE “IN THE BEGINNING,” writes Leslie Gourse, “there were the gospel singers and the blues singers. ... And they helped beget Louis Armstrong.” From Armstrong (who became the first jazz singer when he sang the way he played his horn) sprang so many of the great singers, from Bing Crosby to Peggy Lee, from Billie Holiday to Frank Sinatra and Mel Torme, from Cab Calloway to Al Jarreau. They called him “Pops.” Here, in the first comprehensive overview of Armstrong's legacy, through the lives and tinnes and words, the lyrics and styles and legends of hundreds of the singers, Leslie Gourse captures all the color and emotion of the music thaf is surely the soul of jazz. “This is a compelling, affectionate, clear-eyed look at America's jazz singers, past and present. Leslie Gourse brings to life their triumphs and tragedies; she reminds us of the sadness and despair that often accompanied their fame. She has done a vast amount of research on a fascinating subject. And what memories her book stirs vp!” — DALLAS TOWNSEND CBS News correspondent “Informative as well as entertaining, Louis Children sheds much new light on a fascinating subject.” DAN MORGENSTERN Director, Institute of Jazz Studies Rutgers University Leslie Gourse is a widely publ ished free-lance journalist and the author of a novel, With Gall and Hone , and two guide books to New York. She lives in New York City. Cover design by Paul Bacon
