Armstrong wrote most of the biographical material, which is of a different nature and scope than that of his other, later autobiography,  Satchmo: My Life in New Orleans  (also published by Da Capo\/Perseus Books Group).  Satchmo  covers in intimate detail Armstrong''s life until his 1922 move to Chicago but  Swing That Music  also covers his days on Chicago''s South Side with King Oliver, his courtship and marriage to Lil Hardin, his 1929 move to New York, the formation of his own band, his European tours, and his international success. One of the most earnest justifications ever written for the new style of music then called swing but more broadly referred to as Jazz,  Swing That Music  is a biography, a history, and an entertainment that really swings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart One * Jazz and I Get Born Together  * In the Trail of The Dixieland Five  * What is Swing?  * Up the Mississippi  * St. Louis Blues    * Stormy Weather  * With King Oliver on the South Side  * To Broadway with Fletcher Henderson  * Aint Misbehain Sends Me  * California, Here I Come  * Highseas and High Cs  * Record Fans and Hot Clubs  * Swinging Through Europe  * Jam!  * IHope Gabriel Likes Our Music   Part Two: Music Section * Introduction to Swing  * Armstrong in the Upper Register  * Rhythmic Counterpoint  * Swing Interpolation  * Melodic Counterpoint  * Rhythmic Obbligato  * Melodic Obbligato  * Examples of Swing on Ten Instruments","brand":"Hachette Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51767288267095,"sku":"9780306805448","price":14.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780306805448.jpg?v=1758712799","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/swing-that-music-9780306805448","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
