  From Palace to Palais, the musicians who played in the big bands tell their own stories of an unforgettable era in this book. Talking Swing brings to life the magic of the big bands. Among those recalled are Ambrose, Jack Hilton, Geraldo, Ted Heath, and Syd Lawrence, who took over when almost everyone else had packed it in and who kept on swinging against all odds. This was the golden age of the big bands, and the story of those days is told by the men and women who made the music.
