Astaire is best known for his brilliant dancing in the movie musicals of the 1930's, but in Music Makes Me, Todd Decker argues that Astaire's work as a dancer and choreographer -particularly in the realm of tap dancing-made a significant contribution to the art of jazz. Decker examines the full range of Astaire's work in filmed and recorded media, from a 1926 recording with George Gershwin to his 1970 blues stylings on television, and analyzes Astaire's creative relationships with the greats, including George and Ira Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, and Johnny Mercer. He also highlights Astaire's collaborations with African American musicians and his work with lesser known professionals-arrangers, musicians, dance directors, and performers. 517 3 $aFred Astaire and jazz 606 $aJazz musicians$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aDancers$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aMotion picture actors and actresses$zUnited States$vBiography 615 0$aJazz musicians 615 0$aDancers 615 0$aMotion picture actors and actresses 676 $a781.65092 700 $aDecker$b Todd R$01087543 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961062803321 996 $aMusic makes me$94431791 997 $aUNINA
