1927 and jazz is starting to swing. this is sooo smooth and mellow but still has the juice. My God, what music these men made.

[MrJimmienoone]

BIX IS THE BEST TRUMPET-PLAYER EVER! i'm from Ghothenburg (born 1986) Now in Swedish: Raggare från Göteborg.

I went to the apartment [ in 2009 ] where he died in Sunnyside queens. It was a tramatic experience walking into the building and the hallway. I knew that i was walking on historic ground.

[colette10ful]

@cindy161128 I recenlty moved to Jackson Heights, about a mile away. I plan to make the trip and see where a great talent so sadly ended so soon... Atleast we have the recordings that exist...

Que lastima de haber vivido mas este genio,de lo que nos privamos....

[Penelonful]

Dificilmente se encuentre un cornetista que ataque la nota con la suavidad y a la vez el vigor de Bix ,su sonido lleva siempre una cadencia inobjetable . el equilibrio

en los solos son producto de un virtuoso natural " QUE TOCA CON EL ALMA" ,sin romper el equilibrio con el resto de la banda . . . Hugo Lopez Penelas /Argentina

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

[redhairedlad]

I love the way Bix seems not to be able to wait to get started and starts wailing his lead verse on the last measure leading up to it. That and that wham! intro are my favorite parts. There was no band like this one, and I could listen to Sorry over and over! In fact I do.

[sirjuandabicho]

Hermosisimo, muchas gracias.

[GeminiNightOwl]

Bix was amazing - Louis Armstrong once said "a lot of cats tried to play like Bix but none could touch him". So sad he left us so young...thanks for sharing his wonderful music with us :)

[Corrie121]

I find it quite uncanny that such a troubled mind should have left us this legacy, which must surely be the antidote to many a troubled mind.

Listening to this makes me so happy, and yet, a tear is not too far away as I type.

Thanks a million for sharing this.

[galtroark0]

The medium-fast fox-trot "Sorry" is just about the best I've heard of Bix. I really appreciate a chance to hear it and add it ot my Youtube playlist. Thanks for the chance!!!!!!

[vhillkassel]

I love this music and the man. my dad introduced me to this music. he grew up with it. You could say that Bix was to him as the Beatles were to me. And as a teenager it was hard for me to relate - in fact I thought the band was called "Big Spider"! Oh my dad was upset and corrected me.. but I LOVE BIX to death

[bxbeider]

The three tracks, in order, are: Sorry, Crying All Day, A Good Man is Hard to Find. The second piece was written in an attempt to capitalize on the success of Singin' the Blues, which it very much resembles in structure. Have a great time on your journey with Bix. It will be both joyful and sad.

[Anoectangium]

Love the sounds by Bix. Can we have a track listing? there's some I'm not familiar with,

just startin' out and gettin' into Bix and everyone.Thanks in advance.

[Chavetita]

Grande Maestro !!!!!

Una gloria del jazz, . . . el holandes volador !!!!

Thanks for putting this real treasure. Really thanks !!!!!!

I love the year 1927 for Bix, as I know he enjoyed it as well, including the summer before it at Hudson Lake.. Thanks so much for putting this out there for us to enjoy. ;)

[TrumpetRed114]

Bix is simply one of the best trad jazz TRUMPET players i am a trumpet player myself and i hope to be that good someday.

[harryf200]

@TrumpetRed114 I gather Bix did not play trumpet but a cornet, one that is unlike those generally found today but looks like a trumpet in size. I've no idea how to tell the difference!

[TrumpetRed114]

@harryf200 there are Extended cornets (i own a Conn constellation extended cornet) and the normal shepherds hook cornet. i have on of those as well. one way to really tell is by seeing the type of mouth piece they are using and also cornets usually have a more wholesome tone. trumpets are a lot more percing.

[harryf200]

@TrumpetRed114 Thanks for the explanation. A friend of mine, a recording engineer, just gave me a subjective definition: He says a Cornet plays music whereas a trumpet shouts it! I like that.

[TrumpetRed114]

@harryf200 lol no offence but you frined must not have worked with a REAL trumpet player. and NP

[harryf200]

@TrumpetRed114 LOL! I agree, some trumpet players can do a "mellow" - eg the great late Eddie Calvert. But I know what he's getting at - the cornet is the more mellow. He's worked with some of the best as he used to be a recording engineer with some big-name labels but his comment was rather tongue in cheek!

[THERESALWAYSSOMEONE]

@harryf200 The cornet has half-a-foot less tubing. Thus sounds more mellow etc.

[TrumpetRed114]

@harryf200 Your friend needs to see some of the trumpet players in New Orleans. I am one of them myself and i personally pride my self on the tone i have. Although i can play with a sharp Trad Jazz tone i can have a tone almost as full as a flugalhorn. lol

[harryf200]

@TrumpetRed114 Mmmm ... I like my trad' played smooth, like Bix! I think I'd like to hear you play - I don't hear enough flugalhorn, not since I was in a brass band man many years ago. Pity I lived across The Pond. :o(

[milescheifetz]

Met a guy born and bred from Davenport, Iowa.

He'd never heard of the great man. Go figure.

[26095]

They all like "The Bix," the runners' race that's held in late July.... but they don't know what or who it is named for!

It's Iowa.....

[ElizabethBix]

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jazzgirl1920s]

I have had a similar experience only only even more bizarre or unusual. I met a guy from Davenport who knew Bix's brother, Charles, when he was the caretaker of the cemetery in Davenport but the guy had never heard of Bix. That is amazing to me that this guy knew Bix's brother and never heard of Bix.

[marvalhat]

Bix and Frank at their best! Love it!!

1927 was a great year for jazz.

[cwinter]

What a great sound! Truly a wonderful example of American Jazz that will live forever.

[niloleon]

[Bramrpg]
