In Voices of the Jazz Age, Chip Deffaa interviews eight musicians who rose to popularity during the 1920s. Sam Wooding, Benny Waters, Bix Beiderbecke, Joe Tarto, Bud Freeman, Jimmy McPartland, Freddie Moore, Jabbo Smith bring the Jazz Age back to life with vivid memories, amazing stories, and their own larger-than-life personalities. Deffaa draws out their glory days in the Twenties but also invites them to share the stories of their long lives in music, often in obscurity, but in many cases still working and gigging well into their eighties.
