Pool, a music consultant for Paramount Pictures, delivers this tribute to Peggy Gilbert, a jazz musician who played tenor saxophone for over 80 years until her death in 2005 at the age of 102.
By using Gilbert's own collection of memorabilia, in addition to countless interviews with those who knew Gilbert, Pool follows the career of this influential musician through the girl jazz
bands of the 1920s, her appearances on The Tonight Show, and her final performances in the late 1990s. A foreword by Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner is included. Annotation 穢2008 Book News, Inc.,
