The Frankie "Tram" Trumbauer Orchestra feat. Bix Beiderbecke - Singin' the Blues. The first minute of the song is a sax solo by Trumbauer. The second minute is Bix's cornet solo. The third minute features a short clarinet solo by Jimmy Dorsey, who was the clarinetist in Trumbauer's Orchestra at that time. The guitarist on this track is Eddie Lang. This song is considered a jazz classic because Bix and, to a lesser degree, Tram were able to make a slow-tempo jazz ballad swing. This ability to make slow-tempo swinging jazz would later be emulated by jazz musicians ranging from Lester Young to John Coltrane to Miles Davis.

For purity of tone, Bix was tops. . .

@AirForceGirl05 Kudos to you. I think Bix is one of the alltime greats. But I also love trumpeters like Armstrong and Jabbo Smith from that era.
-
Lang's diminished arpeggio in the final chorus break is sublime.

I'm a black female and this is my favorite song.

love this type of music

@Jojobi Agreed. Its actually bemusing how he's never mentioned whenever people talk about this tune. Bix is amazing in this but the guitar was what really made this record distinguishable from other jazz records out at the time.

Just think if there were sophisticated recording equipment fro Bix to record on. But then, that might take the charm out of these recordings.

Eddie Lang, the most underappreciated guitarist in history, without him there would be no Django Reinhart.
