Reminiscing in Swingtime
Japanese Americans in American Popular Music 1925-1960

A book by George Yoshida

This brief look into the parade of Nisei who played and sang popular American music for their own joy and for the pleasure of others has been a trip - an intense enjoyable experience. There are so many unnamed others who were equally a part of this special group of second generation Japanese Americans. Nevertheless, I fell that the musicians included herein portray a representative group of pioneers in popular American music. Their anecdotes and stories are priceless. They provided the essential substance to make this account credible, entertaining and meaningful. - From the Preface by George Yoshi
