From the back cover: Born in New Orleans, the nation's cradle of jazz, Connee (this is the spelling of all instances of Connie on the back cover) was playing piano scales before she was four, and could play Bach fugues on the cello before she could read or write.
Add to these accomplishments the fact that she swings a saxophone and clarinet, has developed an adept trumpet embouchure (lip) and plans all of her own arrangements, and one understands more readily why the little lady from Louisiana has been dubbed a modern St. Cecilia.
During the war like all other top-notch performers, Connee Boswell did as much as anyone else and more than most in contributing of her time to training camp and hospital entertainment. She did this work, not because of the demands made upon her, but because she liked it.
