5.0 out of 5 stars At the Jazz Band Ball~Bix Beiderbecke, July 19, 2003

I had heard about Bix's legendary tone and musicianship, so I decided to check it out for myself. It's all true. Bix plays beautifully. Nice re-mastering job; nice selection of tunes from beginning to end.

The music is happy, happy music. It puts a smile on my face. The fellas in the band sound as if they were having a great time with it. It's hard to imagine that this was the devil's music of its time. There's no soul-searching or deeper meaning to it, other than fun.

Originally, I bought the CD as an exploration into another era, a trip through the time tunnel. Now I can tell that I will be playing it often purely out of pleasure. Nice to meet you, Bix.

5.0 out of 5 stars A true genius, May 5, 2004

I grew up in the same town as Bix, and there is a jazz festival there (Davenport, IA) in his honor. Bix was so revolutionary in his approach, and the only musician with which he can be compared is Satchmo. Louis was an avid Bix fan himself (Ain't nobody sound like him yet). If you want to hear a true genius and jazz revolutionary, get as many of Bix's cds as possible. To paraphrase Hoagy Carmichael, the sound of his cornet is like a woman saying "yes". Amen!

in this cd you almost all the bands in which bix played in,beginning with The Wolverines ,then Jean Goldkette, the Frank Trumbauer Band and his own Gang and last ,but not least, the Paul Whiteman orchestra.It is a little summary of this great cornet player, and even has two of his own creations,the melancholic Davenport Blues and what i believe it is truly a piano masterpiece, In a mist, that is tinged with a nostalgic melody.In this CD you can apreciate the lively melodies of the beginnings of the jazz era,but also their opposite, like the above mentioned, plus Singing the blues and I am coming Virginia.Really a treat for anyone who like to know about this marvelous player and composer,who deserves to be given his rightful place in the jazz history.
