Confessions of a Book Junkie
The Cotton Club by Jim Haskins
“This is a spectacular look at the history of Harlem's Cotton Club. The author writes passionately about the club, it's performers, it's mob affiliations and it's history. He also includes a good deal of information on the historical rise of Harlem itself. Haskins discusses its opening all the way through to the day the doors finally closed. The book is littered with historic images of the club and famous performers such as Duke Ellington, Lena Horne, Bill Robinson, and Cab Calloway.” Full Post
