Yes it is

at 3:05 is that a trumpet he's holding? I think it was an ad for Conn instruments; yet it's interesting that they would have somebody who was known for his cornet playing advertise a trumpet for them.

Two giants of American music, as I said somewhere else recently, Bix and Dick Hyman. Incredibly moving. Thanks, alkuhn1

Congrats on having Mr. Hyman, at the Bix Fest, tell you how much he enjoys this video and what a tremendous job you did with it's production! Kudos!!!!

Beautiful- I am a musician on the road and this is so poignant...

You really brought this to life. You truly care, don't you? Thanks.

I am blown away by this. There's Debussy, Ravel, Satie, and I'd add Bix Beiderbecke to the list after hearing this.

Thank you MookRyan for creating this beautiful collage of images from Bix's era. It is a fitting tribute to a truly God gifted musician, Bix Beiderbecke.

Where did you get the wonderful pictural material for this post? It is not only historically authentic, but very well put-together.
