But he was also the first to break the color barrier in a popular dance band, and his black musicians included Clark Terry, Roy Eldridge, and singer Lena Horne; his white musicians included Jack Purvis, Red Norvo, Maynard Ferguson, and Doc Severinson. Barnet not only played jazz, he lived the jazz life: in this book, he writes of his whiskey and marijuana habits, of his whorehouse visits and his half-dozen marriages. Charlie Barnet epitomised the jazz age, and there are few memoirs as lively as \u003ci\u003eThose Swinging Years\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charlie Barnet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Da Capo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780306804922\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharles Daly \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eBarnet\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e(1913-1991) was an American jazz saxophonist, composer, and bandleader.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Da Capo Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40110207205491,"sku":"9.78031E+12","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_88b77c2c-8b54-457e-a83e-5ee692ab0061.jpg?v=1653402243","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/those-swinging-years-9780306804922","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
