  • "Levinson, who knew James personally, based this biography on nearly 200 interviews with musicians and friends of this Swing-era jazz icon. Starting out as a trumpeter in a traveling circus, he quickly rose to fame in the 1930s with the Benny Goodman Orchestra. He went on to form his own band during the 1940s and 50s, performing with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Connie Haines, Dick Haymes, Helen Forrest, and Kitty Kallen. His stellar career and 22-year marriage to Hollywood icon Betty Grable were undermined by a penchant for compulsive gambling, womanizing, and alcohol. -Derived from book jacket."
