 Jazz critic and writer Gary Giddons on this edition of Fresh Air. His biography of Bing Crosby is called Bing Crosby: A Pocketful of Dreams - the Early Years, 1903-1940. It's now out in paperback. From 1930s to the 50s, Crosby was a pop culture icon, dominating American entertainment with his hit records and movies. In this first volume of the biography, Giddons chronicles the rise of Crosby's career. Giddons may be best known as a jazz columnist for The Village Voice.
