Summary:
"A lovingly researched and thoughtfully created portrait of the Nicholas Brothers, Fayard and Harold, two of the most explosive dancers of the twentieth century who refined a centuries-old tradition of percussive dance into the rhythmic brilliance of jazz tap at its zenith. Interweaves an intimate portrait of these great performers with a richly detailed history of jazz music and jazz dance, bringing their act to life and explaining their significance through a colorful analysis of their eloquent footwork and full-bodied expressiveness. Captures the Brohers' soaring careers, from Cotton Club appearances with Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, and Jimmy Lunceford, to film-stealing big-screen performances with Chick Webb, Tommy Dorsey, and Glenn Miller. Drawing on endless hours of interviews with the Nicholas brothers themselves, Brotherhood in Rhythm documents their struggles against the nets of racism and segregation that constantly enmeshed their careers and denied them the recognition they deserved"--Provided by publisher.
