In the 1950s, Tiffany Club in Los Angeles' Wilshire district became the hottest place to catch jazz legends like Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald perform.

Can't We Be Friends, a new novel by historical fiction authors Denny S. Bryce and Eliza Knight, explores the decade-long bond between these two iconic women.
