Thomas Brothers is the author of Help! The Beatles, Duke Ellington, and the Magic of Collaboration; Louis Armstrong’s New Orleans; and Louis Armstrong, Master of Modernism, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. A professor of music at Duke University, he lives with his family in Durham, North Carolina.
"Thomas Brothers has now produced a second wonderful book in his
multi-volume study of Armstrong's life and music."
*Literary Review*
"Evokes the quick-fingered, megawatt-smiled music legend's
formative years, when he moved from New Orleans to Chicago and on
to New York in pursuit of musical fame—and a style all his
own."
*Vogue*
"It makes for a rounded, rigorous, vivid portrait of a man who,
Brothers argues, became the ultimate representative of
African-American musical history."
*Financial Times*
"...scholarly and well-written book..."
*Daily Mail*
"...scholarly but accessible biography..."
*Independent on Sunday*
