Here in England, he received a real boost in the mid 1980's with the Leeds-Based TV series "The Biederbecke Affair" written by Alan Plater, and others which followed. The TV series featured the adventures of a fan, and Bix's music throughout. It's more a nostalgia-fest for scene spotting around Leeds where it was filmed and might seem oddball to non-northerners or non-Brit.
But its up there on Amazon "Beiderbecke Trilogy" DVD

@fnslr308 "The Beiderbecke Affair" introduced me to Bix Beiderbecke when I went to university. Bix Beiderbecke and the best time of my life are firmly connected.

Descobri Bix através da coleção JAZZ produzida pelo músico, maestro e pistonista Marsalis. Desde então comprei tudo o que tinha sido gravado por êle. Também me comovi com sua vida fulgurante mas trágica. Um gênio, com certeza.

You know, many years ago i watched a movie called BIX, about a talented musician that has no musical studies at all and it was the problem he did got (well , not him i guess it was the problem of everybody else though), until one day the bleeding hearts and the artist supported him and encouraged him to study, that is something soo good, i thought it would happen all the time but the reality of life is nobody helps you, but by watching that movie makes you like dream with something like that

@JamesBeiderbecke13: I`m from germany and I love this good old jazz and Bix was one of the greatest jazz musicans!

This is great. When I'm feeling down listening to Bix always makes me feel better. It's ironical that so many jazz musicians seem to have had unhappy lives and yet the music they produced is so feelgood. Thank you for posting.

@JamesBeiderbecke13 —An honor to me you, Sir; albeit virtually —Bix continues to mirror and inspire the core covenant of all musicians —"Make it Memorable" —Be Well & Be Excellent, my Friend...

@SirTrumpalot Yes, it was happy music - it was the Roaring Twenties, the economy was up, there were plenty of speakeasies, bathtub gin, flappers so everyone was happy - heck, they were drunk whenever they wanted to be!
bix is my great great uncle and i enjoy listening to his music
