@Djavidus Um, I think Red came first, he played Cornet is a a boys band when he was 6 and in his fathers band when he was 12 he was a member of Johnny Johnsons's band at 19. He played a different style than Bix but I think he came first.

@rsalvucc Actually, Red came from a musical family. His dad taught music in college. And Red was one of the first to "compose" what up to then (early 1920s) was mostly free form. Technically, Nichols had greater mastery of the horn than Armstrong. He was a schooled musician while Armstrong self taught. But then Satchmo could just sit down and magic would come out.
Their styles are just different. Both were great. 'Nuff said!

Well, he couldn't play over high C. He apparently couldn't read anything too tough. A popular white player when a lot of brothers couldn't go into a restaurant. Not his fault, but let's be honest

This is not a soundie! It's from 1935. It's a musical short. I posted the same video from the same VHS on my YouTube channel, in synch!
Does anyone know if this short is on DVD - and if yes, where to buy it?

No copycat here. I like this version better than Louis Armstrong and Bessie Smith. I like the diversity since the blues was an amalgam from the Irish and Africans in America.

Nichols, excuse me for the typo.

1) Red Nicholas is just one out of thousand Bix copycats.
2) No version of ,,St. Louis Blues" can ever top the take by Bessie Smith and Louis Armstrong.

Naaa...1935, way too early. Does look a bit like him tho.
The trio may be the Song-O-Pators, who were with Red's 1934 road band.

This is from one of Red's 1935 Paramount short subjects; big bands often headlind one and two-reel musical shorts, often tied to a theme, or framed in a "night club" or "concert" setting...
