Very basic overview of Satchmo's life, written with a younger audience in mind. In that regard it succeeds mightily, but if you're looking for something deeper, check out Laurence Bergreen's "An Extravagant Life," which fills in all the details. Still in all, valuable for younger readers interested in Satch and/or jazz history.
