>"When the band would see real fine dancers, the musicians would try to become a part of what they were doing. Really, the dancers inspired the musicians and vice versa. If the musicians did something exceptional, it inspired the dancers to do something exceptional, and then the dancers would inspire the musicians to do even more. It was a party, it was the best."
-- Legendary jazz singer Joe Williams. From Swingin at the Savoy, Norma Miller / Evette Jensen (1996), p. 215
Recently bought and read Norma Miller's book "Swingin' at the Savoy" after the Harlem Swing Dance Society paid a visit to Baltimore. https://www.amazon.com/Swingin-at-Savoy-Norma-Miller/dp/1566398495
Really interesting look into the history and the life of one of 'the greats' - and tangentially includes stories about a lot of the rest of Whitey's Lindy Hoppers.
Doesn't include any sort of instruction, but good for history.
