What can one say?  Bix's solo is otherworldly beautiful.

@Coney01 You're confusing this with Singin' the Blues.

I played this recording to a jazz fan and he guessed it was Lester Young on the sax. The interesting story is that Young heard another member of the band listening to this 78. He heard Trumbauer's solo and bought the recording for himself and took it with him everywhere he went for the next decade. And the influence on Young's playing is obvious.

This is Bix's voice at its best. He's alive and in the room with you. Makes me cry.

For those who don't know Bix, just wait til his solo @ 1:00-1:30 gets better - 2:00.... masterful. And he did it differently every time, and not with sheet music. Sheer genius.
