Just in: A book review from Texas for The Ghetto Swinger by Coco Schumann emphasizes Coco’s passion and the major theme of the book: How music saved his life.

“An interesting and enlightening read. The passion and the clarity with which Schumann recalls his past experiences, playing with some of the greats, surviving World War II, his internment, are all very evident.

I felt like I was listening to the gregarious great-uncle with stories almost too good to be true, other than the fact that they really are. This book very much feels like a conversation carried on between Schumann and anyone passionate about music.”
