Though not a story about swing music or the big bands per se, the music and bands do play a large part (acting as a backdrop and pivot around which the story revolves). YESTERDAY'S SPRING is not another spin down nostalgia lane, not a valentine; but a sometimes erotic, hard-hitting, no-punches-pulled look at the way it really was right up to its explosive climax within the fiery confines of Boston's ill-fated Cocoanut Grove.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xlibris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45410513682583,"sku":"9781401087067","price":1659.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781401087067.webp?v=1767312745","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/yesterdays-spring-9781401087067","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
