Part One: Astaire among Others : "There's a difference and Astaire is it" ; "I am a creator" -- Part Two: Astaire at the studios: "I play with the very best bands" ; "Tell them to let it swing" ; "Fixing up" tunes -- Part Three: Astaire in jazz and popular music: "Keep time with the time and with the times" ; "Jazz means the blues" ; "Anything that will send me" ; "You play and I'll dance."
Fred Astaire is best known for his brilliant dancing in the movie musicals of the 1930s, but in Music Makes Me, Todd Decker argues that Astaire's work as a dancer and choreographer, particularly in the realm of tap dancing, made a significant contribution to the art of jazz.
