Struttin' with Some Barbecue: Lil Hardin Armstrong Becomes the First Lady of Jazz
(3)
4-6
Illustrated by
Rachel Himes.
This smart, lively biography in verse tells the story of Lillian Hardin Armstrong--her talent as a musician and composer, her drive, and her instrumental role in popularizing both the career of husband Louis Armstrong and jazz itself. The black-and-white illustrations' gracefully energetic lines echo and underscore the strength and elegance of the "First Lady of Jazz." Robust back matter complements the concise text. Timeline, websites. Bib., glos., ind.
