(Please note, this part has a very brief silent clip of film of Bix Beiderbecke, and also a short sound clip of Mamie Smith, and a clip of Bessie Smith you have probably seen before)Hosted by Garry Moore. Talk about an All star line-up!!! Bud Freeman, Pee Wee Russell, Jack Teagarden, Lil Armstrong, Red Allen, Buster Bailey, Mae Barnes, Eddie Condon, Johnny Guarnieri, Bob Haggart, Milt Hinton, Gene Krupa, Meade Lux Lewis, Jimmy McPartland, Minns and James, Kid Ory, Blossom Seeley, Johnny St. Cyr, Zutty Singleton, and Joe Sullivan! Not sure of the year.
The clip of "Dippermouth Blues" at 0:33 is great -- unusual to see Armstrong playing a cornet (instead of a trumpet), and his take on the famous Oliver solo is terrific.
I had no idea that there was video footage of Bix! It's not much, to be sure, but the fact that it exists at all is remarkable. Thanks very much for these posts!
