Thanks Marc. Frankie’s biography is a wonderful piece, also, if you ever get the chance go to NYC check out some of the more in-depth interviews with him at the Performing Arts Library at Lincoln Center.

Thanks Marc.

I've only been dancing a couple of months and I've been having some difficulty navigating the world of Swing/Jazz dancing, with its "celebrities", crazy-fragmented dance scenes and complex history, but I've been thoroughly helped out by your interesting and often thought-provoking posts. Kudos! And I've been hearing a lot about the Frankie Manning biography...think I'll go pick it up. He seems really charming and down-to-Earth in the Youtube interviews I see, but they're never long enough for my tastes... Hey there,
