Summary
Details

BACKSTAGE - Behind the Curtains with the Greatest Entertainers of the 20th Century tells the remarkable story of Marty Harrell, a professional journey that began with his rise as a teenage bass trombone prodigy and carried him to the heart of the greatest stages of his era.

From the swinging days of the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra to unforgettable performances behind legends like Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and Sammy Davis Jr., Harrell's career placed him shoulder-to-shoulder with the most iconic entertainers of the 20th century.

Told with intimacy and authenticity, BACKSTAGE is more than a chronicle of one man's musical career--it is a rare glimpse into the fun, excitement, banter and bluster behind the curtains, through the end of the big band era, the opening salvos of the British Invasion, and the height of the Rock & Roll epoch.
