About This Item
Jonny Hannah is a cool cat who has created an amazing tribute to a bunch of his favorite people from the jazz era. "Welcome to a world of hipsters, flipsters, and finger-poppin' Daddies--where to JUMP is to JIVE and to BOP is to BE! Mini bios of "Jelly Roll Morton", "Louis Armstrong", Django Reinhardt", "Walter Page", "Gene Krupa", "Benny Goodman", "Duke Ellington", "Billie Holiday", and "Charlie Parker".
The last page: "Moose the Mooche" says Keep on Jumpin' & A-Jivin' and Don't You Be No Square! Ya dig? That's All, Cats!

He has illustrated numerous book covers and also designed the award-winning short animated film THE MAN WITH BEAUTIFUL EYES for British television.
