{"product_id":"those-swinging-years","title":"Those Swinging Years","description":"Charlie Barnet (1913-1991) is best known as the popular bandleader whose hits included \"Cherokee\", \"Pompton Turnpike\", and \"Skyliner\". But he was also the first to break the colour 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 \"Those Swinging Years\".","brand":"Hachette Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54227505480024,"sku":"9780306804922","price":21.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780306804922__6774b87199005.jpg?v=1741134720","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/those-swinging-years","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
