That Moaning Saxophone recovers the story of the Six Brown Brothers, the sextet often credited with starting the American saxophone craze. In sifting fact from legend, the book explores the show business world of 1895-1933: minstrelsy, circus, burlesque, recordings, Broadway, and the long, slow death of vaudeville.
