Ahead of her time, Lil made a career for herself--and for Louis Armstrong, her modest, unassuming husband ... Scat-inspired verse celebrates how Lil overcame race and gender barriers to become the first lady of the Chicago jazz scene"--Publisher marketing. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Short chapters in chronological order start with Liz's upbringing with her strict mother—a staunch foe of "race music," as jazz was called at the time. However, Liz's talent, drive, and ability to make money, finally won over her disapproving mother. Lil began dating the shy Louis Armstrong in 1922. Together they played music, married, and rose to the top,
"Lil and Louis
were struttin' high on the hog
right there in Chicago,
up from the South,
makin'
raw and raucous
rompin', rollickin'
music.
Dang, they were musical royalty—
inventing
a new kind of sound—
makin'
jazz."
After reading Struttin' with Some Barbecue, you won't be able to look up a recording of Lil's music fast enough. I've saved you the trouble.A link to listen to "Struttin' with Some Barbecue" is on my blog, Shelf-employed. [https://shelf-employed.blogspot.com/2019/01/struttin-with-some-barbecue-review.html]
In addition to a glossary, bibliography, index, etc., back matter includes additional information on Lil, jazz, and racial conditions of the era.
