The astonishing and fascinating story of jazz's greatest cross-dresser, Billy Tipton, by the acclaimed biographer of Anne Sexton. 'Packed with swing - era music lore, this well-researched biography [is] a perceptive portrayal' - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

For fifty years the world - and three wives - believed that Billy Tipton, professional jazz musician, was a man. Writer Diane Wood Middlebrook lifts the lid on jazz's greatest cross-dresser in her appealing biography that covers the musician's early years in Oklahoma, the nights playing with Louis Armstrong's partner and his/her extraordinary relationships.

Diane Wood Middlebrook is the author of several volumes of poetry and the prize-winning author of ANNE SEXTON: A BIOGRAPHY (Virago). The recipient of many fellowships and awards, she is Professor of English at Stanford University, where she also served as the director for the Center for Research on Women.
