This book looks at the Nixon White House differently through the jazz performances that he had which were thirteen. The author takes you through some of those from Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Pearl Bailey, and Henry Mancini playing some of his hits, “Moon River”, for example. Al Hirt and Pete Fountain who were both big in the New Orleans Jazz and at one time Al Hirt was part owner of the Saints when they first began. You get a behind the scenes look at the performances and also opinions from the journalists and critics that were there as well. I found this book to be very interesting and a much different take and look into the Nixon White House.
