BBC radio broadcaster Sheila Tracy has talked to more than 60 American musicians who played with the "big-name" bands and have lived to tell the tale. They talk of the pressures of life on the road, the battle against alcohol addiction, the crowds, the adulation, and for many of the black musicians, the problems of segregation. This work provides an insight into the good times and the bad of a period of musical history as seen through the eyes of those who have experienced it.
