Thank you a hundred times for this!

great record, I must get a copy of it, thanks for sharing it.
-
Phenomenal!

It's sad that traditional jazz is dying out with the generation gradually passing away. It's up to the young people to carry on the REAL JAZZ, not all the be bop fusion, school jazz.

Sounds a lot like Sweet Georgia Brown - especially if you start wistling it

@mlaprarie - thanks! Should've known that it would be a Columbia/CBS type of reissue. I think that virtually EVERY, worthwhile 78 side, with Bix, has been reissued on one form or another. Or maybe not ... :)

And no mixing, multi-tracking, or other garbage to interfere with music-making.
Fantastic!

@TreforMetaxas09 - Thanks! ... As they, once said .... "Bix lives"! He and Louis Armstrong RECOGNIZED the talents, of those two (he and Louis) ... and they once-played on those old riverboats, along the Mississippi River, when jazz was first beginning, esp. on the trumpet/cornet, in GREAT improvisations that resulted.

@mlaprarie - Thanks, and I should've known; have the Bix discography, part of Richard Sudhalter's old book. It's nice to have parts of the RCA/French reissue ... put-together by Jean-Paul Guiter.
How did you get your Record so clean?

@IdontneedanIpod, Part of it is because old record players are not as sensitive to minor blemishes, and despite what many people think a shellac 78 rpm record in very good condition will produce very little surface noise when played on vintage equipment. People living 75+ years ago had standards for sound as well, and would have been much less enthused about records that were barely listenable.

@mlaprarie - Was this ever reissued, even on the old (1970's era) French RCA series of Beiderbecke ... 5 volumes, altogether? ... I don't see it ....

@jhb134, it was reissued on the Columbia/Legacy CD "Bix Beiderbecke: At The Jazz Band Ball". It is also on Volume 2 of the "Bix Restored" series from Origin Jazz.
