Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
A picture book biography that will inspire readers to dance to their own beats! Singer, dancer, actress, and independent dame, Josephine Baker felt life was a performance. She lived by her own rules and helped to shake up the status quo with wild costumes and a you-can’t-tell-me-no attitude that made her famous. She even had a pet leopard in Paris! From bestselling children’s biographer Jonah Winter and two-time Caldecott Honoree Marjorie Priceman comes a story of a woman the stage could barely contain. Rising from a poor, segregated upbringing, Josephine Baker was able to break through racial barriers with her own sense of flair and astonishing dance abilities. She was a pillar of steel with a heart of gold—all wrapped up in feathers, sequins, and an infectious rhythm.

Pages : 0
Book Description
This is the first Who's Who that deals with the world of Jazz, Cabaret, and Entertainment. It should serve as reference for performers, promoters, publicists, booking agents, venue owners, students, schools, libraries, and music industry executives, as well as the general public. Those who read "Who's Who" books-regardless of the field-easily find one common denominator: "Who's Who" books are dry. Effort was made to avoid this tendency in the World Who's Who of Jazz, Cabaret, Music, and Entertainment. Although using fact and data-found in or supplied by reliable sources, personal feelings and material were added. To accomplish this, the world of the artist not usually seen on stage or behind the mic was probed. Candid and personal stories, anecdotes, and intimate statements were sometimes provided directly by the artist or told by friends and peers. After all, this is a world of enchantment, glamour, and fun-and so it cannot be treated like a mathematical formula In traditional "Who's Who" books, those listed are usually figures well known to the public or in their own field. In this Who's Who you will meet, on equal basis, mega stars and celebrities, as well as outstanding talent you have never heard of. This book is not based on fame and fortune alone, but also on merit. There are over two million performers in the world, it is impossible to include all of them in two volumes. This book brings to you those who are believed to be the best in the business.

Book Description
"This is an anthology of biographies detailing the careers of over 1,000 musicians whose names are part of jazz history. All the musicians and vocalists given individual entries were born before 1920. Only musicians born or raised in the U.S.A. are included in this volume. Some musicians born before 1920 are deliberately excluded, on the grounds that most of their professional successes occurred after the demise of 'Swing Street.'"--from Introduction.
