First for the musicians, then for the world : the birth of Swing Street -- Let's have a jubilee : 52nd Street goes commercial -- Here comes the man with the jive : Stuff Smith -- A little law and order in my music : the John Kirby Sextet and Maxine Sullivan -- Swingin' down that lane : 52nd Street at the height of the swing era -- Making it into the big time : Count Basie, Joe Marsala, and "mixed" bands -- This conglomeration of colors : bebop comes to Swing Street -- Apples and oranges : 52nd Street and the jazz war.
