Abstract An important and often-overlooked musician is the sideman in big bands of the 1930s and early 1940s. The author has attempted to correct this oversight by writing and interviewing many of the musicians of the age, Including Lester Boone, Cliff Olson, Curtis Jones, Blanche Finlay, and Bill Dillard - in all, more than thirty musicians.
