Swinging Gotham Big City, big bands: New York's jazz scene of the 1920s It's the Roaring Twenties, and New York is exploding with jazz fever. Crowds flock to the nightclubs and dance halls in Harlem to see the likes of Louis Armstrong with the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra playing at the Kentucky Club, or Duke Ellington at the Roseland Ballroom or the world-famous Cotton Club. Designed, illustrated, and edited by Robert Nippoldt, this award-winning book pays homage to this exceptional era, via an entertaining blend of illustrations, facts, and amusing anecdotes presenting 24 leading lights of New York's jazz scene in the 1920s, complete with a CD containing some of their best tunes. The texts, contributed by Hans-Jürgen Schaal, give a vivid account of the club scene and the "band battles," as well as the legendary recording sessions. A splendid read, a groovy CD--and not strictly for jazz fans only!u003cbru003e u003culu003e u003cliu003eInternational Book Award, 2014, Los Angelesu003c/liu003e u003cliu003eInternational Design Award, 2014, Los Angelesu003c/liu003e u003cliu003eJoseph Binder Award, 2014, Viennau003c/liu003e u003cliu003eD&AD Award, 2014, Londonu003c/liu003e u003cliu003eGood Design Award, 2014, Chicagou003c/liu003e u003cliu003eA' Design Award, 2014, Como / Italyu003c/liu003e u003cliu003eBest American Infographic, 2014, New Yorku003c/liu003e u003c/ulu003e u003cbru003eAwards for the original German edition: u003culu003e u003cliu003eEuropean Design Award, 2008, Stockholmu003c/liu003e u003cliu003eInstitute for Book Arts: "The Most Beautiful Book of Germany" 2008, Frankfurtu003c/liu003e u003cliu003eIllustrative: "One of the Most Beautiful Books of Europe" 2007, Berlinu003c/liu003e u003c/ulu003e
