Fragment from "To Bix or Not to Bix" a film made by Jean-Christopher Averty (1976).
Subtitle: "une biographie rêvée de Leon Bix Beiderbecke"
Against a decor of drawings and photo's French musicians (Patrick Artero as Bix) play the roles of Bix and his fellow musicians (Claude Bolling, Claude Luter, Daniel Barda etc.)
Bix´s the best!

Je suis désolé, mais le pianiste n'est pas Claude Bolling, mais Bibi Garvanoff. Le batteur, j'ai un doute, mais je pense au batteur de Claude Luter , qui était à l'époque :
Roland Audinet.
C'est vrai, les émissions d'Averty, seraient un régal pour bon nombre d'amateurs de Jazz et autres, mais sûrement pas assez rentables.............

It certainly was his "boysdream", but I really don't know.
Perhaps something took place in November 1922 when Bix spent a week in New York where he saw the ODJB live for the first time.

Very good recreation of Bix sitting in with the Original Dixieland Jazzband. Interesting to hear Atero playing the breaks Bix played on the recording with Bix and His Gang. I wonder what La Rocca would have thought of those breaks? It would have been nice to hear Bix and La Rocca trade breaks on Jazz me Blues.

Quel plaisir de revoir cette emission..!
A l epoque je crois bien que je l ai vue en noir et blanc, car la TV couleur n etait pas encore chez mes parents...
Artero est fabuleux dans cette serie...peu sont capable de jouer à la bix comme lui..
Sur ce morceau Jazz Me blues, je crois reconnaitre, outre Patrick Artero (TP) Irakli (Tp)Francois Guin (tb),claude luter (cl)cl bolling (p) , mais à la batterie ..?
A quand un DVD de cette emission (et des autres d Averty de l époque ?
